Bousta Yoke

Sale price$8.00

This is a chunky weight version of my Little Bousta Yoke pattern.

This sweater is worked in one piece from the top down with a circular yoke construction.
Optional short rows are used to raise the back yoke of the sweater for a better fitting neckline. Sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and worked down to the cuffs and hem.

Needles
Smaller, for Stockinette Stitch and Ribbing:
US 9 / 5.5mm 16” / 40cm circular needle
US 9 / 5.5mm 32 or 40” / 80 or 100cm circular needle
US 9 / 5.5mm set of dpns for small circumference in the round; alternatively use a
long circular for Magic Loop

These are suggested needle sizes. As the pattern uses a bulky weight yarn, a small deviation in gauge can result in a significant change in finished size. Take time to swatch and find the
correct needle sizes for your yarn and style of knitting that will result in the listed gauges after blocking.
