Pattern notes
This circular yoke pullover is knitted in the round, from the bottom up, all in one piece. The body is completed first, followed by the sleeves, before they are joined together and the yoke is worked from a chart, which is read from right to left throughout.

This pattern is one of a small collection featuring motifs adapted from Norah Gaughan’s wonderful Twisted Stitch Sourcebook.
