Tessikana

Designed by Kirsten-Michele

Tessikana is a top down seamless yoke sweater with a deep colorwork chart that uses stripes and rectangles to create a striking yoke. The neckline features double ribbing with integrated increases and is followed by short rows at the back of the neck to create a comfortable fit. This is followed by stranded knitting that is worked in multiple colours. The chart continues past the arm and body divide for the smaller sizes. The sleeves are knit in stockinette stitch and the cuffs and body are finished off in double ribbing. The body has optional waistline shaping for a flattering fit. Tessikana was inspired by woven folk fabrics in the central region of Poland. The pattern includes symbol charts, which can be used to add your own choice of colour.
