Top-down, bottom-up and top-down hybrid all are variations of yoke sweaters. Jenn has designed her yokes using all 3 methods and you’ll learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each style as well as the various body shaping options: straight, a-line, or hourglass. We will also go over fit adjustments to existing patterns and how to implement any personal modifications according to your body measurements. You’ll learn about ease and choosing a size that’s right for your shape and preferences. Jenn will have a bunch of her yokes on hand for discussing and we’ll go over any personal fit questions you might have.
