Bjørk Sweater is a simple sweater with a textured yoke featuring thin cables. The sweater is worked in the round from the top down using 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair + 1 strand of either Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk, or alternatively for a less feminine look without the mohair – using 2 strands of Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk. The cables on the yoke are worked without the need for a cable needle and the rest of the sweater is worked in simple stockinette stitch. Ribbed edges finish the cuffs, neckband and hem. There is also an adult sized version of this pattern: Bjørk Sweater – My size.
