Carol.
Carol is my tribute to the legendary singer songwriter Carol King. Her album Tapestry was the soundtrack of my summer of 1985. It comes in two versions: Carol 1 & 2. Carol has a circular yoke and is worked from top down. It has a relaxed fit with an elegant high neckline. The stranded colorwork spreads out in stripes over the whole garment with lots of relaxed plain stockinette knitting in between. Carol 1 has a Latvian Braid, Carol 2 has a Loop Stitch elegantly draped across the shoulder section.
