HEARTWOOD is a round yoke sweater with a top-down construction. The yoke design is achieved through a combination of very simple colourwork and texture stitches.

Starting with provisional cast on, the sweater is worked seamlessly top down. After the yoke, short rows are worked to shape the neckline and elevate the back of the sweater, then the body and sleeves are separated while casting on stitches for underarms. The neck band is worked at the end, which gives you an opportunity to decide what kind of neckline you want to make.
