Scallop Yoke Sweater — Stranded Colorwork Top-Down Pullover
This sweater has a rhythmic scalloped pattern of connecting half circles. The colorwork on the yoke can be harder to see when you’re wearing it, so I added the scalloped pattern to the cuffs as well — check out the cuteness at the wrists and smile. The loose positive ease makes this sweater wonderfully comfortable to wear.
The piece is worked in the round from the top down with no seams and no short-row shaping. The scallop motif is worked in stranded colorwork. After separating the body and sleeves, work in the round to the hem. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to the cuffs. The neckband is picked up from the cast-on edge and folded over to make it double-layered. Pattern instructions are in text; the Colorwork Pattern has both text and chart.
