This twist on the basic turtleneck combines raglan shaping on the front and back with concentric decreases on the sleeve caps. Epaulets of reverse stockinette further accentuate the shoulders and add a dash of style to the sweater. Tailored shaping and double-rib tubular edges keep everything tidy, and a relaxed turtleneck allows for easy layering and cozy warmth. Bottom-up circular construction makes this sweater a straightforward and pleasurable knit, with just enough shaping in the charted yoke portion to keep your interest. This simple sweater is a perfect canvas for the Shelter marls, but looks handsome in any hue.
Construction
The body and sleeves are worked circularly and joined at the underarms, then the yoke is worked in a single piece to the beginning of the neck shaping. The yoke is worked back and forth while the neck is shaped. The collar is picked up from the bound-off and held neck stitches and worked circularly.
