Do Ewe Yoke?

Do Ewe Yoke? was originally the pattern that kicked off the very first Zanete Knits mystery yokealong in January 2024, done in collaboration with Do Ewe Knit?, Moondrake Co. and Spincycle Yarns.

This top-down round yoke sweater is a stunner, with Latvian-inspired geometric stranded colourwork motifs that run deep past the sleeve separation. The pattern provides charts on both light and dark backgrounds, using only two colors at any given time.

It uses sport weight yarn and for the best effect, go for high contrast colour combinations to really showcase the intricate pattern. It looks particularly stunning when using a colour-changing or gradient yarn. Give it a try and be amazed by the beautiful results!
