Emerald Chain
Emerald Chain is an innovative and contemporary take on the classic lopapeysa-style colorwork yoke sweater, perfect for your cozy indoor adventures. This top-down pullover is skillfully crafted in one seamless piece using three vibrant colors of fingering-weight yarn. The intricate colorwork motif features rounds that incorporate all three colors simultaneously, making it an exciting project for knitters looking to enhance their colorwork skills. To ensure your knitting experience is as enjoyable and smooth as possible, helpful tips and tricks are included throughout the pattern, guiding you through the process of three-color colorwork.
This engaging design begins with a flattering round neckline that boasts a rolled edge, accented with stylish corrugated ribbing for added visual interest. To achieve a comfortable and well-fitted neckline, short rows are strategically placed at the bottom of the yoke. The incorporation of waist shaping on the sides provides a slim and sophisticated silhouette, while also offering the option for sway-back shaping for those who desire a tailored fit. The sleeve cuffs and hem are beautifully finished with two-color corrugated ribbing, further enhanced by a delicate rolled edge that rounds out the overall aesthetic.
The Emerald Chain pattern is designed with user-friendly instructions, featuring both metric and US terminology for ease of understanding. Note that only charted instructions are provided for the colorwork pattern, allowing you to visualize the stunning design as you knit.
With a gauge of 25 stitches × 33 rounds, equaling 10 cm / 4", this pattern offers a delightful knitting experience for those eager to create a fashionable and functional piece for their wardrobe. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just beginning your journey in colorwork, the Emerald Chain sweater is a project you'll be proud to wear.
