aters never go out of style. A colorwork yoke can take a simple knitted sweater to another level by introducing a decorative element at the neckline of the jumper. This collection of knitting patterns features designs for twelve different sweaters which will have you reaching for your needles. Knitting pattern designer and author, Olga Putano, has designed three basic sweaters patterns for different yarn weights: DK; fingering (also known as sock or 4ply); and worsted (aran), so you can choose your preferred style. There are patterns for four different yoke designs for each of the basic sweaters. Since the patterns only use two colors in a row, they are suitable for beginner to intermediate knitters but exciting enough to appeal to experienced knitters. There are step-by-step instructions for cable stitch as well as any other special stitches and techniques. All of the sweaters in this collection are knitted top down and in the round which means there is no sewing up to do at the end. The whole yoke section is knitted in one piece, increasing as you go until it reaches the correct circumference and then the body and sleeves are knitted in the round separately. This means that you can adjust the length of the sweater to get the perfect fit by trying it on as you go.
