KORDY
from Moon And Turtle: Knitting Patterns with Variations
Our cover star from Moon and Turtle! The Kordy sweater is worked from the top down and is completely seamless using our unique method to shape and raise the neckline. The geometric yoke uses stranded colourwork with no more than two colours at a time per round. See our swatch idea post or check out what our testers did for colour combination inspiration!
