Novice Sweater - PetiteKnit Knitting Pattern - English

The Novice Sweater is worked from the top down. This means that you start with the neckband, then work the yoke, then the body, and finally the sleeves. The sweater is worked in stockinette stitch, but the edges are in ribbing.

The Novice Sweater has a round yoke, which is created by working increases evenly distributed over four rounds on the yoke.
