Caribou

The Bow Valley Parkway, a stunning route nestled between Banff and Lake Louise, invites you to explore the breathtaking heart of the Canadian Rockies. As you travel this scenic road, take the opportunity to pause and enjoy the spectacular views that characterize this majestic region. You’re nearly guaranteed to encounter a variety of wildlife, including caribou, elk, bighorn sheep, and possibly even a grizzly bear, making your journey truly unforgettable.

This knitting pattern features a beautifully designed cabled yoke band, which is the first element you'll create. Once the band is complete, you'll pick up stitches along its edge to craft the neckline before working your way up to the collar. The intricate yoke is then knit downward from the picked-up stitches, allowing for a seamless and elegant look. Following the separation of the body and sleeves, you will continue knitting each piece downward, completing the cuffs and hems for a polished finish. Finally, the button bands are constructed last, ensuring a neat and tailored appearance for your garment.

The samples for this pattern were thoughtfully knitted in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter yarn, showcasing beautiful shades such as Artifact, Button Jar, Faded Quilt, and Sap.
