THIS IS A KNITTING PATTERN. NOT A PHYSICAL PRODUCT.

Pattern available in english, deustch français, español, italiano.

Spooky season is upon us again. This year, I am connecting and reclaiming the ancient chinese philosophy of yin and yang for this design. It also represents the two cats I am godparents to - Freyja and Shadow. Freyja is a sassy grey siberian while Shadow is a gentle and sweet tuxedo. Just like the yin and yang teachings, these two meowdels are the two very opposite but complementary forces. This is a matching design for the cattoween cowl.

This top-down jumper is knitted in the round and features a seamless construction and colourwork yoke. It comes in ten adult sizes with customization options for body length and sleeve length.

Smaller model is wearing size 3 with a 13.5cm/5.25” ease on chest, cropped body and shorter sleeve option, no short rows. Larger model is wearing size 4 with 5cm/2” of ease on chest, full body and sleeve length option, no short rows.
