With shoulder shaping that’s a bit more anatomical than a classic circular yoke sweater, and underarm gussets to increase mobility, the Squam sweater is a modern yoked pullover that’s both fun to knit and easy to modify.

Simple slip-stitch patterns provide the opportunity to experiment with color without the need to manage multiple strands at the same time—since only one color is worked per round.

And to help you make to achieve your perfect fit, an extensive ‘Notes’ file, with loads of suggestions on customizing the design to suit your style or your stash, is also included in the pattern download.
