A circular yoke sweater with a textured eyelet design.

This circular yoke sweater is knit in the round and from the top down, beginning with a collar that fits close to the neck. Before starting the yoke increases, you work short rows on the back panel so the sweater sits nicely on your torso. Work the short rows back and forth as indicated, leaving the remaining stitches unworked until the short rows are complete.

Then, you work the yoke, which includes a front and a back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn.

The pattern includes optional bust darts, including suggested spacing for each size. (Note: the sweater in the modeled picture does not feature bust darts.) You end by working each sleeve individually.
