The Yoga winter sweater is a short length style knit with a turtle neck and neckline, wide side slits, and long sleeves. Side slits are narrowing down which are worked with decreases k2togL and k2togR, so it is always easy to move and breathe for the body. Sleeves are straight and narrowing. The sweater is worked top-down in a Stockinette stitch pattern. It is quite easy to make the sweater longer before working slits and of course, more yarns should be estimated. The Yoga winter sweater is a small, comfortable, not restricting movements and light knitwear that fits perfectly for light sports in chilly weather and for wearing at home with leggings or for a trip to nature.
