Rotation is a new spin on the classic circular yoke sweater. Starting with a basic geometric design, the chart changes as it repeats around the yoke to create a central focus.

Rotation is a top-down circular yoke sweater knit in two colours of sport weight wool. Short rows are used to raise the back neck. There is a band of colourwork at the top of the sleeves and the body, then both transition to plain stocking stitch. The sleeve stitches are put on hold while the body is worked, then knit down from the underarm to the cuff.
