Nevermore is sweater pattern featuring a cool raven colourwork yoke. The name was inspired by the classic Edgar Allan Poe tale! This sweater is knitted from the top down and uses German short rows to give the back a bit of extra length for a comfy fit. Because the yoke includes several rounds with more than two colours, this pattern could be considered intermediate to advanced, but we say it’s perfect if you’re ready to tackle something a bit more challenging.
The kit contains the following colourways in the required quantities on British DK from Les Garçons. The pattern is not included; it is available in our shop or on Ravelry.
