My own little tribute to Ravelry and just Frenchies in general.

I just love a circular yoke sweater. If it has stranded work, I like it even better. Something feels very traditional and timeless with circular yoke sweaters.
This sweater is knitted top-down. The yoke has a bulldog pattern explained by a chart.
The fit of the sweater is loose, but not oversized.
