Quadratis is a top-down seamless yoke sweater. It has short rows at the back of the neck, and simple yoke in one colour. After dividing the body and arms, stranded colourwork forms a pattern which increases in dominance as it moves towards the hem. Waist and hip shaping can be added with the changing of needle sizes if required. The cuffs are finished off with a colourful pattern that echoes the body of the sweater.
