  • After The Rain - Sweater

    After the Rain is a classic yoke sweater pattern adapted for a curious knitter who likes to take up new challenges and is not afraid to tackle an interesting lace panel.

    The sweater is knitted top-down. It starts with a slight boatneck and opens up in a beautiful full lace yoke with transparent leaves and textured buds, reminiscent of nature awakening after the rain. Due to the lacy pattern, the yoke forms a wavy transition to the lower body, adding to the natural flow of the design elements.
