Decorating around the yoke of a sweater is a wonderful way to bring focus to the neck area. If you want to create designs for a round yoke sweater, whether it’s your own pattern or to modify an existing pattern with a different motif, this is the a class for you. We will start with some basics of calculations to make a round yoke sweater that fits well.
