Suhotrav means “dry grass,” and at the end of a very hot summer, and in the original colours, I find the name rather fitting. It brings the warmth of summer into fall, with the colours of the dry grass matching the colours of the leaves.
The pullover is knit top-down in the round. The pattern calls for at least three colours, making it ideal for using up leftovers and playing with multiple colours. The design features a round yoke with a high neck, short-row shaping of the yoke integrated into the colourwork pattern, a fully patterned body and classic tapered sleeves. You will also find a corrugated ribbing pattern on the neck, cuffs and as part of the colourwork pattern on the yoke and body. The pattern calls for any sport/DK-weight yarn to match the gauge.
