The Snowdrop Sweater

Pattern Introduction
The Snowdrop Sweater is a top-down circular yoke sweater with simple colour work. You’ll start by knitting a double folded collar before knitting the colour work. You’ll then separate for sleeves and work the body. The stitches for the arms are then picked up and knitted with tapered decreases.
