Francis is a joyous, easy little knit. The sweater has the relaxed elegance of minimalist design. The pattern can also be used as a fieldmap to create your very own yoke sweater design!

The sweater is seamlessly knit from top down. Below the collar a series of short-rows are knit back and forth to create a slightly higher back neckline. The simple stripe pattern is knit joglessly so that the step from one to the next color is invisible. The increase rows are worked in the main color sections only, making it easy to keep track of increase rounds. The stitches of the lower body are gradually decreased to create a gentle, flattering inward curve.
