Knitting Pattern: Pioni Sweater (by Ronja Hakalehto)

The sweater with a colorwork yoke is worked seamlessly from the top down. The back neck is raised using short rows for a perfect fit.

The pattern for the Pioni sweater was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Pentik knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Pentik's decorative textiles and ceramics.

You can work the sleeves with double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique.

Difficulty:

Intermediate.
