Varietal Sweater is a basic seamless top-down sweater. The neck is shaped with German Short Rows. Increases are distributed along the yoke. Then, the sleeves and the body are separated and both are knitted in the round in stockinette stitch. Instructions for short and long sleeves are included.
Due to its simplicity, this pattern is ideal to be your first top-down sweater with circular yoke. The techniques used are: Cable Cast On, German Short Rows and the Lori Twisted Bind Off, as well as increases and decreases. If you are an experienced knitter, you can enjoy a relaxed knit, which will turn into a classic and sober model, or into a canvas to experiment with colorful yarns.
