EDINBURGH SWEATER

Edinburgh Sweater is worked from the top down with a circular yoke which features a simple colourwork design.

First the neck is worked in ribbing, then the yoke is shaped with either 4 or 5 rounds of increases (depending on the size you are knitting) that are evenly distributed across the length of the yoke. The sweater is then divided for the body and sleeves, and new stitches are cast on for the underarms. The body and sleeves are finished separately and worked in the round, and the edges completed with ribbing and bound off using the Italian Bind-off technique. The pattern includes an option to work short rows after the stranded knitting to tilt the yoke forwards and thus shaping the neckline without distorting the colour work.
