XARAH is a circular yoke pullover in Aran weight yarn, combining a ribbed pattern with slipped stitches.
It is worked seamlessly from the top down, featuring a combination of knit and purl stitches that create a perfect transition from the yoke to the body.

Having this wonderful Aran weight yarn in my stash, I was looking for a matching pattern with a circular yoke and a cropped, boxy silhouette. Isn’t it stunning, how some slipped stitches can make the difference!

There is a seamless transition from ribbed collar to the yoke pattern and the body. The XARAH pullover is worked up quickly and the pattern is easy to memorize.
Use neutral colors, tonal or solid. The pattern is so addictive, I could not resist to knit two pullovers in one go!
