I have been on a mission to make a sweater that wears like a sweatshirt for a while. This one fits the bill. It has just enough positive ease to be comfortably roomy and is simple with a bit of interest in the lace adorned yoke (which is sort of my sweet spot of knitwear design!). Add in a drapey and soft yarn and you’ve got a sweater that will be easy to throw on whether you’re going to the store or Netflix-ing on the couch.
Construction is top down and in the round. The circular yoke has rounds of increases with a dramatic lace in between. Body and sleeves are separated and then worked from the yoke down.
