The Vintage Moon circular yoke is from my book Modern Crochet Sweaters: 20 Chic Designs for Everyday Wear. This book includes 20 #SizeInclusive sweater patterns using a variety of techniques and construction methods to ensure there is something of value for every skill level. Each pattern is written for sizes XS to 5XL and each size has been thoroughly tested! We had over 500+ crochet pattern testers for this book to make sure that each size fits its intended wearer in a way that makes them feel beautiful. You can buy this book with confidence, knowing that each pattern was written for you and your unique body measurements.

ABOUT
No sweater collection would be complete without a turtleneck. Like a moth to a flame, I am constantly drawn to the polished look of high necklines. There is a certain warmth and security that comes with a high neckline, an inherently sophisticated addition to any garment. Bringing style and function to this simple yoke sweater, the turtleneck radiates a classic elegance; like a fashion-forward nod to the past.

With its relaxed fit and slim, tapered sleeves, Vintage Moon can be comfortably worn under a parka, sheltering your neck from harsh winter winds. This sweater lands where the thigh begins (though you can adjust the length to suit your preference), and the sleeves extend slightly past the wrist for additional protection from the cold. This design feels warm and grounding, while adding a touch of poise to any outfit.
