The Yoga cotton sweater is a short-length style knit with a crew neck, neckline, wide side slits, and short decorated sleeves. The wide collar does not press the neck and firmly sits on the shoulders. Side slits are narrowed down because are worked with decreases k2togL and k2togR, so it is always easy to move and breathe for the body. Sleeves at elbows have decorative details that are worked with increases M1R and M1L. The sweater is worked top to bottom in a Stockinette stitch pattern. It is quite easy to make sweater longer before working slits and of course, more yarns should be estimated. The Yoga cotton sweater is a small, comfortable, not restricting movements and light knitwear that fits perfectly for light sports and for wearing at home with leggings or for a trip to nature.
