High Desert Yoke

Sale price$8.00

This cropped sweater is worked in one piece from the bottom up. Sleeves and body are joined at underarm for yoke and Sunday Short Rows are worked before the color work pattern to raise the back of the sweater. The body length can easily be made longer by working more rows but extra yarn must be factored in. Cap and full length sleeve options are given.
