DESCRIPTION
The Starry Yoke is a top-down type sweater that uses at least two contrasting colors to create an eye-catching starry effect. Working with a single color at a time, this is one of the easiest colorwork sweaters you’ll ever make.

Just like the all the other designs in the #MyZodiacSweater collection, for this sweater you’ll only have to work with 1 color at a time, dropping the inactive yarn at the start of a round and picking it back up at the start of the new round.

With a classic fit at the bust, this will quickly become one of the most comfortable yet stylish tees in your wardrobe! The sweater features short rows to raise the back neck and is worn with a small amount of positive ease at the underarm.

The pattern calls for sport weight yarn, but a heavier fingering weight may also be used, as long as you meet gauge, for a breezier, more airy fabric to wear on hot summer days.

This advanced beginner pattern has you covered with step-by-step instructions and tutorial photos including on how to complete the yoke, how to add short rows, and how to split for sleeves. Like most CrochetHighway patterns, this pattern also comes with a detailed round tracker, laying out the stitch count for all yoke rounds in all sizes.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Bust circumference: 33 (37, 41, 45, 49) (53, 57, 61, 65) inches or 84 (94, 104, 114, 124) (135, 145, 155, 165) cm

The sizing for this pattern is based on the standard Craft Yarn Council (CYC) measurements.

This top is designed to be worn with -2” to +2” (-5 to +5 cm) of ease around the bust. When choosing a size, find your actual bust size in column a of the table. The finished bust circumference in column b will be anywhere from 2” (5 cm) smaller (negative ease) or 2” (5 cm) larger (positive ease) than your actual bust measurement. If your hip circumference is significantly larger than your bust circumference, consider picking your size based on your hip measurement.

All my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive up to at least a 60” bust circumference.

DIFFICULTY
