Clapton (for him)
Introducing the Clapton (for him) knitting pattern—a stylish and versatile addition to your wardrobe that is expertly designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down. This pattern begins with the completion of neck ribbing, followed by a series of short rows that create an elevated back neck for a comfortable fit. Once the yoke shaping is complete, the yoke is crafted in the round until the sleeve separation is achieved. To finalize the yoke shaping, additional short rows are added just before placing the sleeve stitches on hold. After this, you will work the body in rounds all the way down to the hem. Finally, the sleeves are knitted last, top down to the cuffs, allowing you to customize the fit to your liking.
The original yarn used for this project is Rauma Finull PT2, known for its excellent quality and warmth, but if you’re looking to explore alternatives, we provide several options below.
