Knitting Pattern: Kultapiisku Sweater (by Anna Johanna)
The colorwork yoke pattern mimics the shape and colors of a delicate wildflower. A sweater is a favorite outfit for a knitter on a chilly summer evening.
The pattern for the Kultapiisku sweater was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Pentik knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Pentik's decorative textiles and ceramics.
