Get ready for spooky season with a modern twist on timeless traditional colorwork sweater design!

Finally, a sweater that combines two of our favorite things: traditional colorwork yoke sweaters and spooky Halloween fun! Nocturnal Jumper is a top down, seamless sweater with a round yoke. It’s knit with three colors… and yes, that includes three colors in the same row! Don’t be spooked— Shara will lead you through everything you need to know about knitting a colorwork yoke sweater, including 2-and 3-color colorwork.

This cute boxy sweater is available in ten sizes, with cropped or regular length options, so you can find your ideal fit. Choose your main color and two contrast colors from our huge selection of worsted weight wools and make your gauge swatch before the first class so you can jump right into learning new skills: starting with a stretchy cast-on and corrugated ribbing!

Skills needed: This is an intermediate-level class. Students should know how to long-tail cast-on, knit in the round, and bind off.

You will learn: Top-down yoke sweater construction (including separating for sleeves), pattern reading, chart reading, colorwork knitting with two and three colors, corrugated knitting, and stretchy cast-on and bind-off.
