Holly Sweater is our take on the classic Christmas sweater. With a modern twist, a circular yoke construction and a holly wreath pattern around the yoke, it is very Christmassy. Holly Sweater is worked seamlessly top down in the round using either 2 strands of Merino or 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout.

You begin with the folded ribbed neckband and continue with neckline shaping using German short rows. Increases are then worked around the yoke and you also start following the chart for the Fair Isle pattern. After the yoke, sleeve stitches are placed on hold to be worked after the body has been completed. The body is then further shaped by working additional German short rows in each side. Ribbed edges finish the body and sleeves. The length of the body and sleeves can easily be adjusted. The Fair Isle pattern is charted only.
