Sitzmark

The Sitzmark Sweater by Caitlin Hunter is a striking yoke sweater featuring bold colourwork and a relaxed, cosy fit. Knit seamlessly from the top down, it's an engaging project that creates a beautiful graphic sweater you'll reach for all winter long. Our Cushy DK lends itself perfectly to this cosy knit — lofty, soft, and wonderfully warm. Each kit contains all the yarn needed to create your sweater. The pattern is available separately via Ravelry.  Every kit is dyed to order and ships within two weeks.  Our sample uses Kit 2.

Why We Love the Sitzmark Sweater
• It's one of those designs that immediately catches the eye. The bold colourwork yoke creates a strong graphic statement, while the rest of the sweater settles into calming stockinette — the perfect balance between exciting and relaxing knitting.
• It's a wonderfully wearable sweater. The relaxed silhouette makes it easy to layer over shirts or dresses, and the colourwork adds just the right amount of personality to an otherwise classic shape.
• It's the kind of project that feels satisfying from the very first stitches, watching the colourwork motif slowly appear as the yoke grows.

Perfect For
• Knitters who love bold colourwork sweaters
• A cosy autumn or winter knitting project
• Anyone wanting a, graphic, modern handmade sweater

Skill Level
Intermediate
The sweater is knit top-down in the round, beginning with the colourwork yoke before separating for the body and sleeves. If you're comfortable with stranded colourwork and knitting garments in the round, this is a very enjoyable project that quickly settles into a lovely rhythm.
