Description
The Cor Sweater Chunky is a seamless Yoke sweater with a simple and light Fair Isle pattern. The pattern is worked only on the right side, using only 2 different colors, and there are at most 6 stitches in the same color at a time, eliminating the need for long floats on the back that require securing. The sweater features a wide folded and ribbed neckline, which will be knit together. The neckline is gently shaped with short rows. The sweater is worked from the top down, allowing for personal adjustments to both sleeve and body length.

The pattern also contains directions for an alternative version of the sweater – version 2 – a sweater using 3 colors for the pattern and with all ribbed hems knitted up in the same color as the pattern color.

Recommended Needles
The sweater is knitted in stockinette stitch in the round on a 6 mm (80 cm) circular needle with 2 strands. All rib edges are knitted on a 4.5 mm (80 cm) circular needle.

I recommend the Magic Loop method for knitting the sleeves, the upper part of the yoke, and the rib edges. If you do not use the Magic Loop method, you will also need a 6 mm (40 cm) circular needle and a 4.5 mm (40 cm) circular needle.

Gauge
15 stitches x 21 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch on a 6 mm needle.
