Coline

Discover the stunning Coline, a top-down colourwork yoke sweater that elegantly combines geometric patterns with a versatile design, perfect for knitters of all levels. This delightful pattern allows for customisation, enabling you to showcase the intricate geometric motifs on the upper body only or throughout the entire sweater. With its simple and intuitive stranded knitting technique, this project is ideal for colourwork enthusiasts seeking an accessible and enjoyable knitting experience. Enjoy fewer floats to catch and the freedom to easily adjust the lengths of both the body and sleeves. The pattern includes detailed charts in two distinct contrasts, ensuring compatibility with all your colour choices.

Techniques featured in the Coline pattern include top-down yoke construction, which is knitted seamlessly in the round, and stranded knitting with two colours per round – making it easy for knitters to follow along. Master the use of German short rows for a comfortable fit at the back of the neck, and utilise simple increases and decreases for a polished finish. The design also incorporates 2/2 ribbing for added texture. The straight body and sleeves offer a clean silhouette, and adjustable lengths make it a universally flattering option for everyone. Plus, the optional German short-rows bust darts are thoughtfully tailored based on cup size, ensuring a great fit for all body types. You’ll find the pattern includes comprehensive charted instructions for your convenience, making this a straightforward project for any knitting enthusiast.

This versatile pattern is thoughtfully crafted in both English and French, with the French version available starting from page 16, allowing a broader audience to enjoy the art of knitting. Transform your wardrobe with the Coline, an inspiring project that blends style, comfort, and the joy of creating beautiful handmade garments.
