As Klara is such an easy-to-knit circular yoke sweater, we’ve added Klärchen as a little companion piece for kids.
Petras hand-dyed the yarns to perfectly match both versions, making them ideal for sweater lovers of all ages. Both
designs are worked seamlessly from the top down. A few short rows at the beginning gently shape the neckline. The
increases for the yoke are worked evenly in rounds, followed by a colorwork section. The crew neck is finished in k1, p1
ribbing. Klärchen also includes a small button placket, which makes it more comfortable to slip on over the head.
