The Fibre Co. Lore Seacross Sweater (PDF Download)

The Fibre Co. Lore Seacross, designed by Becky Baker, is a seamless sweater knitted from the top down with a stunning five-colour yoke. The pattern includes two sets of instructions for the colourwork: one for knitters who are comfortable stranding several colours at once and one with swiss darning instructions for those who are less comfortable. Lore creates a light and lofty fabric that blooms beautifully when washed – perfect for colourwork!
