Tin Can Knits Trek is all about having fun combining color palettes and motifs! This yoke looks great with just a few colors, or many, the sky is the limit. Trek is worked from the bottom up. Sleeves and body are knit from cuffs and hem to underarm, where they are joined for working the yoke. The colorwork patterns are in chart form only.
