  • Manou [Isabell Kraemer - PDF]

    A yoked sweater, Manou by Isabell Kraemer is knit seamlessly from the top down. Short rows are used to bring the back neckline slightly higher. The yoke is worked in two colours with the pattern then mirrored along the hem.

    Isabell knit her sample in Retrosaria Brusca which is ideal for colourwork. You'll want to snuggle in this sweater on cold days!
