GAUGE

22 sts x 32 rnds = 4” (10 cm) in stockinette, worked in the round on size A needles and blocked, both in stranded colorwork and worked in all one color.

CONSTRUCTION

This circular yoke sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is worked in a charted stranded colorwork pattern. German short rows are worked at the bottom of the yoke to raise the back. A small colorwork detail is included before the cuff on the sleeves. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline to work the folded collar. Working the collar this way adds structure that will help prevent the neckline stretching out over time.
