Mabel
A new twist on the classic Bohus yoke, Mabel by Samantha Guerin features an eye-catching, pebbly colorwork yoke updated for the modern knitter and wearer. Using our favorite colors, the yoke has a “one-more-row” addictive quality that makes this fingering weight pullover zoom along.
Made in our light and springy Weld, this circular yoke pullover is worked from the top down in the round. The motifs are worked from simple, easy-to-follow charts and the lower body and sleeves knit up quickly in the round. The hem, cuffs, and collar are bound off with an accent color for a special finishing touch.
