Traful Sweater is a round yoke sweater that is knitted in the round, top-down, and seamless. This yoke is adorned with slipped stitches in a contrasting color, following an intuitive and easy-to-remember pattern. To shape the neckline and to make the back slightly longer, German Short Rows are incorporated before separating the sleeves from the body and before the lower body edge. As a distinctive final touch, the design is completed with an edge on the body and sleeves knitted with slipped stitches. Since the sweater is knitted top-down, the length of the sleeves and body is easily adjustable to your preferences..

Techniques used: increases and decreases, Standard Bind-Off, Backwards Loop Cast-On, German Twisted Cast-On, German Short Rows. All the techniques used are explained in the instructions and in videos linked from this pattern.
