Biscuit Sweater is worked in the round, top down. The neckband is worked in wide rib then folded and either knitted down or stitched in place later. The ribbing continues neatly into the yoke pattern, which is worked from simple chart repeats. Written instruction is provided as an alternative to the chart, if preferred. Once the yoke is complete, short rows are worked for a better fit before the body and sleeve sections are divided to be worked separately in stockinette stitch with ribbing at the cuffs and hem.
