Arguably the simplest of sweater constructions, this circular yoke pullover features radiating main-color spokes of slipped stitches against a background of contrasting color garter ridges. The long gradient in the contrasting color gives a painterly look to the yoke.

Worked from the top down, this pullover begins with a provisional cast-on at the neck. Increases are worked in concentric rounds to the base of the armholes, at which point the body and sleeves are worked separately, also in rounds, to the lower edges. It’s therefore easy to adjust the body and sleeve lengths to suit your preferences.

There are no seams to sew.
