This yoke neck sweater features a subtle textured geometric design created using knit and purl stitches. The subtle simplicity of the design allows you to match it to a wide variety of outfits so it’s sure to become one of your staple wardrobe favourites!
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with some short row sections that help to shape the neck and body so that the sweater is a touch longer at the back than at the front. After working the yoke, the sleeves and body are separated and worked in the round. The sleeves are designed to be full length, but you can make your sleeves any length.
The sweater is designed to be worn with 0-2” of chest ease.
