Plain Yoke Sweater is a beginner-friendly sweater with a round yoke. It is knitted with one strand of airy bouclé yarn and one strand of thin wool. If you are an absolute beginner, you can optionally skip the short rows in the yoke, so you only have to knit in the round. Then follow the pattern for the novice version, which is knitted exclusively with knit stitches. The Detailed Edition includes short rows in the yoke, knitted after the neckline, but beside that, the two versions are the same.

Construction note, detailed edition (in the picture)
Plain Yoke Sweater is knitted top-down with a raised back neck, created using German short rows (GSR). This means that when working the short rows, you knit back and forth in stockinette stitch (knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side). Apart from the short rows, the sweater is worked in knit stitches only. The round yoke is shaped with increases.

Construction note, novice edition
Plain Yoke Sweater is knitted top-down. Everything is worked in stockinette stitch, meaning the sweater is worked in knit stitches only. The round yoke is shaped with increases. The only difference compared to the “Detailed edition” is that ”Novice edition” is worked the same way both in the front and back in the neck section.

Size guide
Plain Yoke Sweater is intended to have a positive ease of approx. 10-18 cm 4-7”, depending on how loosely fitting you want it to be. It is shown here with a positive ease of 10 cm 4“. The sweater in the picture is displayed on a model with a bust circumference that is 10 cm 4” smaller than the sweater’s bust circumference.
Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the widest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements given at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the sweater). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the sweater’s measurement.
For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm 37”, a size M would provide you with a positive ease of 10 cm 4”m – 94 cm = 10 cm). 41” - 37” = 4”
