Pattern notes
This circular yoke pullover is knitted from the bottom up, all in one piece. The body is made first, followed by the sleeves, before they are joined together. After a short section of raglan shaping, the circular yoke is worked from a chart, followed by the neck rib. All charts are read from right to left throughout.
