Yardana sweater

The sweater is knit top-down in the round. It’s a round yoke pullover with a deep yoke, almost like a swoncho, tapered sleeves and boxy body. In smaller sizes the yoke is as deep as the height of the colourwork section, in larger sizes you can choose to split for the body and sleeves as soon as colourwork is done. The neckline is shaped with short rows. All edges and the sleeves are worked in 2x2 ribbing.
