The yoke sweater is named after the “cado” in avocado. The yarn used for the design was dyed from avocado skins which results in a beautiful muted pink. The design at the yoke looks challenging however it consists of slipping stitches with the yarn in front and knits/purls. The sweater is worked from the top down seamlessly. Once the yoke is completed, the stitches for the sleeves are held on waste yarn until the body is finished. There are instructions for both short sleeves and long sleeves.
Naluknits
"Nalu" (pronounced nah-loo), is the Hawaiian word for the ocean's waves. The Hawaiian saying, 'Nalu it', translates to 'go with the flow'. As every person who learns to swim in the ocean knows, you don’t fight the waves, you ride them.
My goal is to design knitwear patterns that go with the flow.
