Description

The Hedgie Hug Yoke Sweater is a unisex, top-down sweater available in ten different adult sizes.

This sweater is knitted in one piece, top-down with increases on the yoke. Includes options for several neck styles: double, turtleneck, mock turtleneck, and crew.

Short rows are worked at the top of the yoke to raise the back neck for a better fit.

The sweater is worked mainly with 2 colors at a time for easier knitting, with only a few rows using 3-color stranded work. Extra colors may be added later with duplicate stitch for simplicity.
