Fitu is a yoke sweater with stranded colourwork and it’s knitted from the top down. It has 9 women sizes and 8 men sizes. The yoke is very easy – no more than two colours per round and it’s possible to knit it without needing to catch any floats. This sweater is knitted in the round without any seams. After knitting the yoke the sleeve stitches are put on hold while you finish the body and then recovered to knit them from the underarm to the cuff.
The pattern includes a document with more than 50 colour combinations to make it easier for you to make the perfect sweater.
There’s a matching Fitu hat and cowl pattern.
MATERIALS
• 4 mm (US6) circular needles, 80 cm / 32” long for the body and sleeves (using the magic loop method). Adjust if necessary to achieve gauge – see below. If you tend to knit colourwork a bit tight, you should go up a needle size for that section.
• 3.5 mm (US4) circular needles or two sizes smaller than the main needles for the ribbing.
• Markers, tapestry needle and waste yarn to put the sleeve stitches on hold.

YARN
Sport or DK weight yarn (235-300 m / 257-328 yards in 100 g) in 4 colours. I used Rauwerk No2 100% Merino (300 m / 328 yards in 100 g) for the woman’s version and DLana* Madrilana DK (235 m / 257 yards in 100 g) for the man’s version. Please take into account that although the Rauwerk yarn is classified as sport weight, it knits closer to a DK weight.
