The Ovis, by designer Caitlin Hunter, is a stranded colourwork sweater that is knitted from the top down, both flat and in the round. Born from a collaboration with the Sacred Sheep festival in Portland, Oregon, the design features a two-tone pattern reminiscent of a flock of sheep grazing in a field.
The kit contains the following colourways in the required quantities on British DK from Les Garçons. The pattern is not included; it is available on Ravelry.
Main colour (2 to 4 skeins, 100 g): “Max’s Kaki”
Contrasting colour (2 to 4 skeins, 100 g): “Natural”
