Wintertide Yoke

The Wintertide Yoke Pullover is inspired by the textures that appear in nature during the various seasons and interpreted using tuck stitches. With simple rhythmic slips, yarn overs, knits + purls, these four stitches create an incredibly squishy and soft reversible fabric! Because of the nature of these specific tuck stitches and the fabric each creates, this yoke sweater can be worn on both sides!

This sweater is constructed from top to bottom. The yoke is cast on in icord and is worked in one piece until the garment is split at the armhole. At that point, it is broken up into three sections (the body and two sleeves). Each of the three sections are then worked, individually, in the round. Short row shaping can be incorporated into the back of the body once the rib hem is begun. Each sleeve is picked up, worked in the round and worked straight. There is a dramatic dec with icord bind off which creates a whimsical tapered + quilted cuff to finish off the sleeve.
