Erit Invertendo

This purchase is for the DIGITAL PATTERN only, not a physical item.

Erit Invertendo is a top-down seamless yoke sweater. It has short rows at the back of the neck, and a yoke pattern where the colour gradually inverts. There is optional waist and hip shaping to add feminine shape, and the bottom hem and cuffs are finished off with a reverse colour inversion pattern.
