I am a big lover of simple clothing, and this classic circular yoke sweater is exactly that. Novel combines all my favorites: simplicity, a comfy fit and a just a little bit of colorwork in subtle colors.
PATTERN NOTES:
The sweater is worked using a hybrid construction. It starts with a provisional CO at the lower part of the yoke and is worked bottom-up toward the neckline. The yoke is worked in a combination of raglan and circular yoke decreases.
The live stitches are then picked up for body and sleeves, and the sweater is finished top-down.
This construction technique allows more freedom for modifications and is easier to adjust if something doesn´t work well for your body shape.
The pattern also provides some helpful tips and suggestions on how you can adjust it to suit your own preferences.
SIZES:
1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9)
to fit chest circumference 75 (85, 95, 105, 115) (125, 135,
145, 155) cm/30 (34, 38, 42, 46) (50, 54, 58, 62)“
I recommend choosing a size with 0-10 cm/0-4” positive ease at the chest for a comfortable fit. The sample shown is size 2, worn with approx. 5 cm/2” positive ease on a 91/36½“ chest.
