Islington is an easy-knit turtleneck sweater that is super comfy, warm, and snuggly soft to help stave off the cold weather. The sweater is knit in the round from the top down and shaping is done with make-one increases. There are no seams. When you bind off, voilà, you have a sweater!

A very stretchy cast on is used for the turtleneck so it will slip over your head. Short rows are used to shape the back for a better neck fit. Yoke shaping is done with a modified raglan design for comfortable arm movement and a nice shoulder fit.
