I just love a circular yoke sweater. If it has
stranded work, I like it even better. Something
feels very traditional and timeless with circular
yoke sweaters.

This sweater is knitted top down. It has a double
neck ribbing knitted with the help of provisional
CO. The yoke has a cute pattern explained by
chart. The fit of the sweater is loose, but not
oversized.
