This sweater is definitely a new favorite of mine with a casual look and a wonderful soft feel. Peyton is knitted top down and in the round. First with two yarns held together, adding bits of textured bits and colors to the yoke of the top. The sleeves are short, though you can easily lengthen them, as well as the body but of course, more yarn will be needed. :yarn:

The neckline is slightly rolled, the body is knitted with a single color in stockinette stitch down to the ribbed edge. The knitting is easy with simple knit and purl stitches, see the techniques used below for more details.

The pattern is fully written, has a schematic and a measurement chart, for bust sizes ranging from 34/36/38” 40/42/44” 46/48/50/52/54”. A generous amount of positive ease between 13” and 17” is worked into each size, so the top hangs loosely. See the measuring chart below….

Techniques applied: Knitting and purling in the round, holding two strands together for the yoke, working with a single color for the body, increasing by knitting in front and back of stitch, placing stitches on hold, picking stitches back up to be joined in the round with extra stitches cast on for the sleeves, weaving in ends and blocking for best results.
