Yoki is a super fluid and light sweater with a top-down drop-sleeve construction and an oversized, boxy fit - ideal over your favorite pair of high-waisted jeans or with a dress! The cable pattern that covers the front is simple and easy to remember (and it can be done without a cable needle!), but looks striking!

Yoki is an oversized boxy sweater, knitted in one piece, entirely seamless, from the top down. The cabled pattern that completely covers the front is very delicate - it’s a very simple system of cables on 2 stitches only that can be knitted without a cable needle. The cabled pattern is simple and easy to remember, and is very addictive. Yoki’s straight line and drop shoulder shape make the sweater a timeless and very comfortable basic.
