There’s something about a circular yoke sweater that has deep fall vibes. The Squam Sweater by Elizabeth Doherty allows you to create your spin on this classic silhouette with customizable stripes. Choose neutrals with a pop of color for a modern look, or create your fade with soft transitions. We can’t wait to see what combinations you put together! Knit in a sport-weight yarn, this sweater is the perfect entrée into the cool weather we crave. The wide boat neck makes this sweater easy to layer over button-downs or wear it by itself over jeans for a casual sweatshirt-like look. The top-down circular-yoke pullover uses simple slip-stitch patterning instead of stranded colorwork, making it accessible to new sweater knitters.
