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.

The estimated yardage per size corresponds to the measurements of the finished garment according to the schematics. If you make changes, or if you use another yarn with different composition and features from the one used in the sample, your final yardage may vary.

It is available in 9 adult sizes. The sweater featured in the photo is size 3, with 9 cm/3.5” of positive ease. For reference, I am 170 cm/5’ 7” tall and my bust circumference is 96 cm/38.5”.
