Snow Peak Sweater - Knitting Pattern
If you have been intimidated by colorwork sweaters, this is the pattern for you! The Snow Peak Sweater is a perfect introduction to colorwork sweaters. It is knit in the traditional Nordic style, from the bottom up, then joining the body and sleeves to complete the colorwork yoke. Plus, it is knit with bulky yarn, making it a quick knit and extra warm for epic adventures.
This pattern is named after Snow Peak, the mountain I was raised at the base of. It is a secret backcountry skiing gem that the locals love.
Instructions for both 1 contrasting color and 2 contrasting colors are included. A link to videos walking you through every step as well as the yardage is included in the pdf as well.
This sweater will make you ready for any mountain peak or cozy cabin day. I hope you enjoy making it.
