Sauron

Sauron is a simple colourwork yoke sweater worn with positive ease. The low band of colourwork features eye-like shapes and short-rows are worked just below it to raise the back of the neck. The sweater is knitted top down in the round with a straight body and optional short-rows bust darts to accomodate different cup sizes. Some stripes are worked just before the hem and sleeves are picked up and knitted with decreases to slightly shape them.

The sample is knitted with a colourful handspun yarn for the yoke. Any colour changing or gradient yarn will work but you can also play around and hold different strands of yarn. Choose two contrasting light fingering yarns (or three lace weight yarns) to obtain a similar marled effect.
