Foliage Sweater is a short sleeve sweater with a circular yoke in a blend of merino and linen, which gives it a very special and fluid touch.

The yoke is knitted with mosaic knitting technique so it’s a great way to dive into the world of colorwork knt without having to start with stranded colorwork.
