Sari Nordlund's Lumme Sweater is the perfect introduction to colorwork garments. Circular yokes provide a flattering construction and a decorative moment that goes with every outfit.
The yoke pattern is addictive to knit and striking once worked up, with another hint of colorwork at the sleeves to tie it all together.
