Cinnamomum is a closely fitted round yoke pullover with a rather unusual construction and beautiful textured yoke. From the provisional cast-on the yoke is knit bottom up and the body and sleeves — top down. The yoke and hem are decorated with a delicate mix of cables and twisted ribbing. “Cinnamomum” is the genus name of the tree species used to produce cinnamon spice. Their inner bark is ground to produce that aromatic powder that we are all familiar with. The colour of the yarn I used for the sample inspired the name and it’s one of my favourite spices in the whole world regardless of the season.
