Knit from the top down and partially on the bias, Corbis is all about framing the face and neck in the most elegant way. The rhythmic basketweave yoke changes organically into tactile diamond shapes resulting in a powerful and dynamic interplay of lines and shapes for a stunning visual effect. The unfussy, effortless shape of the sweater will complement most body types, and take you from day to night feeling cool, collected and very well dressed!

CONSTRUCTION
You will start the sweater with a top-down triangle that will form the center of the upper back. Once the triangle is worked, stitches are cast on for the front neck, after which the yoke is worked in the round until the under-arm.
After finishing the yoke, the ‘gaps’ at the side of the body are closed working short rows, after which the lower body will be worked in the round down to the lower edge.
The underside of the sleeves are filled similar to the sides of the body, using short rows. Stitches for the neckline ribbing are picked up and worked in the round while using decreases to shape the ribbing.
