An eye-catching sweater with a round yoke. The entire sweater uses the same pattern, but on the yoke it appears as macramé. The yoke is knit in the round from the neck down, and the stitches increase strictly according to the pattern. After this, the stitches are divided into front, back, and sleeves. The advantage of using a raglan is that parts of the pattern are raised; this effect is lost if the sweater is iron-steamed. In addition, the length of the body and sleeves can be adjusted, if the stitches are put on a piece of waste yarn while the sweater is tried on.
Please note: the different sizes call for different weights of yarn, and are adjusted based on needle size used with each weight of yarn.
MATERIALS: One pattern for the three different sizes.
