The “clusters” on the round yoke of this sweater remind me of Morse code, and this is how the sweater got its name. It is a seamless sweater in top-down construction with an interesting lace pattern on the yoke, while the rest is worked in simple stockinette. The picture shows size 4 with a positive ease of 15 cm/6” for an oversized look.
