Description
WITH YOUR KNITTING KIT

Welcome to our Afterparty Sweater, Le Lambswool Edition! Our first version of the Afterparty sweater was designed in our fingering weight yarn, Le Cashmere & Lambswool, for Laine Magazine issue six and I really loved to knit and wear this sweater! It became natural for me to convert this design into our DK weight yarn, Le Lambswool, as one of my first projects when we received the new yarn base.

The sweater is worked bottom-up featuring traditional Norwegian stranded colorwork motifs on the yoke and it has a simple body shape for an easy fit. As the colorwork part is mostly on the yoke, and we only work with two colors at a time, this is a lovely project for knitters who do not have much experience in colorwork.
