This design is all about the yoke - a perfect place to lose yourself in the world of stranded colourwork. This sweater is the first design in the yoke meditation series and features deep-running colourwork and bobbles. 

With this project, you enter a world of tranquillity and balance with stunning motifs that draw inspiration from the ancient art of Buddhist mandalas. This design invites you to contemplate the beautiful symmetry of the universe and find inner peace. Discover the power of art as a serenity tool and let each round's soothing energy transport you to a state of peaceful mindfulness. 

These large pattern repeats are perfect for subtle and bold colour contrasts, resulting in a striking sweater. Delight in the joy of creating something truly unique and beautiful with each stitch.
