A cross between a poncho and a more traditional yoked pullover, the Deep Yoke Pullover begins its unusual construction with a long, narrow band, turned sideways. Stitches picked up on one edge are worked upwards to the neck, with decreases in cocentric circles culminating in a shaped neckline. Stitches picked up on the other edge of the center band are worked downward and split into abbreviated sleeves and a wide body ribbing.
