Details
The Studio Sweater is worked from the top-down, beginning with the deep ribbed neckband. You’ll work concentric rings of increases to form the circular yoke, followed by short rows to gently lower the front neck for a comfortable fit. The yoke is worked with raglan increases at four points, for a neater fit around the underarm before separating the body and sleeves and knitting each in the round. Optional cup shaping plus regular and tall lengths are built into the pattern, leaving you to just focus on the knitting. As with all Ysolda patterns, enjoy inclusive sizing and all gender fit options. Knit in DK or worsted weight yarn, the popular gauge makes substituting from your stash, or within a budget, easy.

Note: the top down yoke requires different needle

have every length available it could be worked
on magic loop until the stitches fit comfortably
around the longer needle. For the largest sizes, if
you don’t like your stitches being squashed on the
needles, you might want to add a fourth length
towards the end of the yoke.
