This sweater is for you who need a bit of instant gratification in your knitting life. With thick needles and Chunky-Aran weight yarn, you can have this yoke done in no time! Available in both English and Norwegian.

The sweater is worked top down, with some short-rows at the neck and at the bottom of the yoke, while working raglan increases. The stranded pattern is worked as you increase for the yoke. You may want to adjust needle size for the colourwork to obtain the same gauge as the stockinette.

There are instructions for optional waist shaping, with notes on how you can alter the waist shaping to suit the recipient’s body measurements.

Alternatively, you can simply work the body straight. It’s easy to modify length as you go.

I hope you will enjoy this super quick sweater pattern, and if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me in my Ravelry group ‘Skeindeer Knits’. It’s the best place for swift support. Happy knitting!
