Product Details

This yoke sweater features a slightly wider scoop neckline and a pretty lace pattern at the neck and shoulders which blends into a reverse stockinette ground with columns of knit stitches. The lace pattern is repeated at the sleeve cuff, and the hems are worked in 1x1 rib.

Worked seamlessly from the top down, this pattern uses German short rows to raise the back neck and an increase borrowed from Estonian lace knitting to shape the yoke. It’s named for the famous La Peregrina pearl once owned by Elizabeth Taylor, because this garment involves a lot of purling.

This is an easy-to-intermediate pattern. The star increases and short rows may take some getting used to if they are unfamiliar, but are easy to learn and fun to work.

Be sure to match gauge in garter stitch for the neck cast on and initial four rounds, which is significantly looser than the gauge for the rest of the garment.
