Inspired by Harry Potter's favorite sport, here is Louise Robert's brand new design, knitted with the famous DK Pure hand-dyed yarn!
Because my mom is the best and she wants to knit a sweater just for me (with a little bit of sparkle, of course!!!), I wrote this pattern that is inspired by my hero to be knitted by my heroine - Louise

NOTES
This yoke is worked from the top down with a positive ease of about 2-4 inches; 5-10 cm. You can adjust the length of the body and sleeves if needed, but keep in mind to adjust the yardage required as well. The yoke is featuring a stranded colorwork pattern where the center of the golden snitch is beaded. Another Golden snitch is also added on the right sleeve.
In addition to this pattern, I invite you to visit Biscotte’s blog on BiscotteYarns.com where you will find the following tutorials about: stranded colorwork, yoke increases, and how to bead a stitch.
