NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

The Demerzael Sweater is a top-down sweater with a unique yoke construction.

The yoke is worked in 2 sections: the first one, increasing only the front and back panel, and the second one, increasing the sleeves. For bigger sizes, Section 2 has 2 Parts: one, increasing only the sleeves, and second, increasing the sleeves and the front and back panels.

After finishing the yoke, the piece is split into sleeves and body. The three parts are worked individually until the desired length.
