Why We Chose this Pattern:
The Okapi Sweater was designed by Judith Brien.
Our sample is a size medium and is knit in YIN YANG fingering weight using the following colorways: MC: Yin, CC1: Yang and CC2: Kiss.
This sample is so much fun! The moment we saw the Okapi pattern, we knew it would look amazing in YIN YANG. We chose colorways for the sample to maximize the “pop” of the stripy sleeves. There are so many fun options to choose from in the YIN YANG fingering collection, so we’ve put together several sweater kits with some of our favorite colorway combinations. Check them out!
Please note that the pattern is not included in the price of the sweater kit.
PATTERN SIZING NOTE:
Find your size using the "Size Guide" above (located directly under the swatches).
PATTERN DETAILS:
Knit seamlessly top down. The pattern calls for two lace weight yarns held together to create a fingering weight marl. However, YIN YANG is already marled and is the correct fingering weight gauge for the pattern. No need to hold two yarns together. Yay!
Needles: US 6 / 4 mm, US 4 / 3.5 mm
Gauge: 24 stitches and 33 rows = 4” in stockinette on size 6 needles (after washing and blocking).
Please note that the pattern is not included in the price of the sweater kit.

SWEATER KIT BUYING GUIDE
This will be my second sweater with loop's YIN YANG yarn. The first is sooo cushy and soft! I love how the marling adds so much interest. Absolutely glorious to work with!!! Cannot wait to cast this on. Also, the naming scheme makes me smile every time.
Wonderful yarn! This is my 3rd project using the YIN YANG colorways and I know I’ll be back for more.
It's here and I'm so excited! So soft to touch, so luxurious to run through my fingers as I knit. Thank you!!!
