Notes

While our climate is not really suitable for heavy worsted sweaters 10 months of the year, I wanted a quick(ish) knit to see how a stranded yoke design works on me before I spend a lot of time knitting an intricate one!

Size L, with a little additional A-line shaping, adding an extra 8 stitches or 2” of additional circumference by the bottom hem.

I was concerned about the neckline height so used short rows in the beginning solid rows of the chart to scoop out the front a bit, as well as working the short rows as directed at the back of the neck.
