Ember Fox is a top-down circular yoke sweater, worked in the round with German short rows shaping the back neck for a smooth, well-fitted yoke.

The stranded colourwork design uses four colours - a warm brown-grey main colour alongside a dark brown, a Coburg fox tone, and a madder red - to create a rich, autumnal palette that gives the sweater its name.

The pattern is suited to adventurous beginners comfortable with knitting in the round and ready to take on stranded colourwork at a DK gauge.

For a relaxed fit choose a size 10 - 15 cm larger than your actual chest circumference. For reference: the sample in the photos is in size 3 with 25 cm positive ease.
