Nov 8, 2024: This pattern includes instructions for both the long sleeve and the short sleeve version!

The Geometer sweater is a circular yoke sweater knitted from the top down. The long sleeve version is made with an overall colourwork and corrugated rib across the hem, cuffs and neckline. The short sleeve version is a tad easier, with a rolled or standard 2x2 ribbed neckline, standard ribbing on hem and cuffs, and a stockinette stitch bodty.

It’s worked seamlessly from the top down and the geometric pattern across the yoke is an evolution of the pattern on the Geometer cowl. Just as the cowl, the Geometer sweater uses Spincycle Dyed in the Wool as contrast for a gorgeous colour-shifting effect.
