With 20 sizes to choose from, beautifully simple Woodsmoke is the basic round-yoke sweater for anyone from baby to adult. It is a well-fitting wardrobe staple and the perfect canvas for a gorgeous yarn. Woodsmoke is knit seamlessly from the top-down in the round. The circular yoke includes short rows in the larger child and adult sizes to lift the back neck. A cleanly fitted sleeve tapers to a fitted cuff. This pattern is written at a gauge perfect for sport weight yarn or the very popular fingering weight held with silk weight mohair combination.

Woodsmoke is a very simple, straightforward sweater that would be perfect for a beginner knitter’s first sweater or a perfectly relaxing project for a more advanced knitter. The pattern is clearly written and easy to follow and results in a beautiful sweater you will reach for time and time again.

Woodsmoke is used to demonstrate the entire sweater knitting process in the How to Knit Your First Sweater class. If you would like to knit this sweater together with me and learn the entire sweater knitting process, you can find the How to Knit Your First Sweater class on my YouTube channel at this link.

This pattern uses the German Short Row method. You can find a tutorial for this technique here.
