DESCRIPTION
The Classic Yoke Sweater is the perfect top-down beginner yoke sweater. Made with an airy size 4 worsted-weight yarn that has the most glorious halo, this design is intended to
be worn with 0–5 inches (0–13 cm) of positive ease. With its cozy, chic vibe, slight waist shaping, classic crew neck neckline, and slightly cropped length, it is the quintessential sweater that you’ll continue to pull from your closet over and over again. Dress it down with some ripped jeans and sneakers, or pair it with a high-waisted skirt and a French tuck to give it effortless flair. It’s up to you!
Knit top-down, in the round, and seamless, this pattern is written in nine sizes—XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). It is suggested that you highlight all the numbers for your size to avoid confusion. For reference, the model pictured is wearing the size M.
