La Bohème Knit Sweater by Tash Goodson
What is Being Made
La Bohème is a top-down yoke sweater designed by independent designer Tash Goodson. This colorwork knit features bohemian-inspired textures and color patterns throughout the yoke, body, and sleeves, making it a versatile wardrobe staple for knitters seeking a fun and visually striking garment.
Construction Method
The sweater is constructed using a top-down yoke approach, which allows knitters to work from the neckline downward. Short rows are strategically worked across the back of the yoke to create subtle shaping and improve the garment's fit. After the yoke is completed, the sleeves are placed on hold and worked down to the cuff separately, a technique that provides flexibility in sleeve length and allows for easier customization.
Stitches and Colorwork
La Bohème features stranded colorwork as its primary decorative element. The colorwork motif is carried consistently down through the yoke, across the body, and down the sleeves, creating a cohesive bohemian aesthetic. The pattern utilizes multiple colors worked simultaneously in the stranded technique, requiring knitters to manage several yarn colors while maintaining even tension.
Materials and Yarn Requirements
The sample garment was knitted using Rowan Felted Tweed, a DK weight yarn with a yardage of 175 meters (191 yards) per 50-gram ball. Multiple sizes are accommodated with the following approximate yarn quantities:
- Main Color (MC): 950 to 2190 yards depending on size
- Contrast Color 1 (CC1): 43 to 82 yards
- Contrast Color 2 (CC2): 106 to 150 yards
- Contrast Color 3 (CC3): 94 to 120 yards
The pattern provides finished measurements for multiple sizes, allowing knitters to select the appropriate yardage for their desired fit.
Skill Level
La Bohème is classified as an intermediate difficulty knitting project. This rating reflects the combination of top-down yoke construction, short-row shaping, and stranded colorwork techniques, which require foundational knitting knowledge and experience managing multiple techniques within a single garment.
Format
This pattern is available as a downloadable PDF, making it accessible for immediate use once purchased from the ecommerce store.
