Laskeran is a design from Melissa Leapman, one of the most widely-published American knit and crochet designers at work today. It is a top-down yoke pullover worked in a gentle fade in a simple (read that: easily memorized) textured stitch pattern in worsted weight.
Our model is in BC Garn Northern Lights (an organic wool/silk blend) in F1, F2, and F3.
Laskeran is a great way to learn to work a 'fade' and work with multiple colors, and it is written in a wide range of sizes. Make the color story your own!
