“The circular yoke is, to me, one of the most intuitive and best-suited sweater constructions for hand knitting,” says designer Jared Flood. “The yoke is shaped with only a few decrease rounds, which makes this type of sweater a wonderful canvas for colorwork patterning. Huron is worked in the round as a seamless pullover and employs a 2-color yoke pattern which you can indulge yourself in after knitting the body and sleeves in 1-color Stockinette stitch. I recommend using three separate needle sizes throughout the project—the largest needle for working 2-color rounds (it is necessary to go up to a larger needle when working colorwork to obtain the same gauge as 1-color stockinette in the same yarn). The medium size needle is used as your one-color ‘gauge’ work and will be used for the majority of the garment, aside from the yoke. The smallest needle is used for cuffs and collar to aid in keeping the garter stitch from flaring.”
