Created for the fourth annual LIYF & Rainbows Knit-Along, a collaboration celebrating the friendships and community that grow through knitting together. Featuring a striking Scandinavian-inspired circular yoke, this seamless top-down sweater combines timeless colorwork with modern construction for a project that is as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear.

Designed in soft American-raised alpaca and merino yarns from Long Island Yarn & Farm, Evie B is warm, lightweight, and perfect for knitters looking to build their colorwork confidence. Whether this is your first stranded sweater or your tenth, the rhythmic yoke and classic silhouette make it a sweater you'll reach for season after season.
