Annika is a traditional yoke sweater with a happy tulip motif. This is an excellent first sweater. It knits up quickly, bottom up in the round, and has the option of short or 3/4 length sleeves (or longer if you wish). It can be knit in either cotton or wool. Pattern includes instructions and yarn quantities for a short-sleeve version knit with the lovely Quince and Co Whimbrel or the 3/4 length version knit with fabulous Brooklyn Tweed Shelter. Knit at either 4.5 stitches per inch or 4 stitches per inch depending on what size you would like to knit.
