The Colette yoke pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. The pullover has a lace and cable pattern over the circular yoke. The stitch pattern is familiar from my other Colette patterns (the Colette tee, pullover and scarf). The lace and cable pattern is both charted and written row-by-row. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately in Stockinette stitch. The back is shaped with short rows to give it a bit more length and to improve the fit.

For the stitch patterns to show best, I recommend choosing unicolor or slightly tonal colorways. The Colette yoke pullover is worked with DK weight yarn, but you can also knit it by holding one strand of fingering weight yarn together with a strand of silk mohair.

The length of the body and sleeves are easily modified to suit your own body measurements. I recommend trying the pullover on every now and then while working on it to make sure you get the perfect length for your style.
