Information from Olive Knits on the Knit Along and Untangled Purls:

Hints

• It’s a yoke-style pullover
• It’s one single color
• Olive Knits & team and knit their samples in Sew Happy Jane Delightful DK Tweed
• DK weight tonals, solid colors, tweeds, and kettle-dyed yarns are recommended. Less color variation is better.
• There are NO photo sneak peeks until June 7th
• The skill level is intermediate, but if you’re a confident advanced beginner, you can do this
• You DO NOT have to knit the sweater in 4 days  – we knit together the whole month of July, so you can work at your own pace.
