GREENWOOD is a round yoke sweater with a top-down construction, double-knit neckband, relaxed boxy fit and tapered sleeves. The patten offers 2 options for the yoke design: v1 with the yoke worked in 2 colours, and v2 – in 3 colours.

Starting with tubular cast on, the sweater is worked seamlessly top down. After the yoke, short rows are worked to shape the neckline, then the body and sleeves are separated while casting on stitches for the underarms. As the sweater is knitted top-down, you can also decide on the length as you go. The pattern and the yardage have been given for an average height of 165 cm / 5‘5’’
