A circular yoke sweater with collar cabling

This circular yoke sweater is knit in the round and from the top down, beginning with a collar that fits close to the neck. You first work the yoke, which includes a front and a back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the sweater down to the waist.

The pattern includes optional bust darts, including suggested spacing for each size. (Note: the sweater in the modeled picture does not feature bust darts.) You end by working each sleeve individually.
