This top-down sweater is worked in delicate garter stitch, creating concentric circles and ripples of texture that radiate down along the yoke. These soft ridges create a pleasing texture that provides light and lofty thermal warmth without bulky weight. The slipped knit stitch “seam” down the back and under the arms provides a straight counterpoint while hiding the jog between rows.

The sweater has a hybrid yoke that makes use of radial and ragalan increases so that the garment can be worn with a great deal of positive ease without puckering. This allows for an oversized sweaterhirt fit that you will love to snuggle into.
