Introducing our beautifully designed round yoke sweater pattern, worked seamlessly from the top-down, featuring intricate cables and delicate eyelet motifs that elegantly circle the yoke. This captivating sweater is perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish and cozy garment that can be tailored to their personal style.

This versatile pattern includes instructions for both short-sleeves and long-sleeves, allowing you to customize your sweater for any season or occasion. With a total of 11 sizes available—ranging from 32 (35, 38, 41, 45, 49, 52, 55, 59, 63, 67)—you can find the perfect fit based on the measurement around the chest of the finished garment. We recommend 1 to 4” / 2.5 to 10 cm of positive ease for optimal comfort, while the sample shown features a delightful 3” / 5 cm positive ease for that relaxed look.

Yarn: This pattern is designed for worsted weight yarn, and we recommend using Malabrigo Worsted in the stunning color UVA. You'll need 490 (540, 590, 650, 720, 820, 890, 1000, 1100, 1220, 1340) yards / 450 (495, 540, 595, 660, 750, 815, 915, 1005, 1115, 1225) meters to complete your sweater, making it a great project for both yarn stash busters and those looking to treat themselves to some luxurious yarn.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 17 sts x 28 rounds = 4” x 4” / 10 x 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch, using a larger needle after blocking. This ensures your sweater has the desired drape and structure to showcase the beautiful yoke design.

Skills required: This pattern is ideal for intermediate knitters who are familiar with making increases (m1L, m1R, m1PR), decreases (k2tog, k3tog, sl2-k1-p2sso), and creating cable stitches. If you are ready to take your knitting skills to the next level, this project will challenge and inspire you.
