Ephesus Sweater is a round yoke sweater worked top down and in-the-round, completely seamless. The neck is shaped with German Short Rows with a lace pattern, forming vertical lines reminiscent of columns, and increases are evenly distributed along the yoke. Body and sleeves are then separated and also worked in-the-round in stockinette stitch. This sweater is the winter version of the Ephesus Tee .
