The richly textured Taskette Pullover features classic circular yoke construction partnered with a stitch pattern that gives the illusion of woven stitches. Worked in the round from the top down, the woven effect is created with 1-by-1 cables.

NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• This pullover is worked in the round from the top down. Short rows raise the back neck for a better fit.

• When increasing for the yoke, change to a longer circular needle when there are too many stitches to fit comfortably on the 16” circular needle.

• When a cable crosses the beginning-of-round marker, remove marker, work cable, and replace marker between two cable stitches.

• The final repeat of the Yoke chart is slightly altered to disguise jog. There is an extra increase in Rnd 4, and an omitted increase in Rnd 31, as well as slight changes to the placements of some 1/1 RC cables.
