Rust is your perfect companion for fall. Knit up in worsted weight yarn it is a relatively quick project. Simple yet stylish, this piece is fun to knit and will keep you warm and cozy through the colder seasons.

PATTERN NOTES:

The majority of the yoke is worked with circular shaping done within the decorative textured stitch pattern. Once the yoke pattern is completed, some short rows are worked to raise the neckline at the back. The yoke is finished with a few raglan rounds for a better fit before separating for body and sleeves.

The body is worked in the round and finished with a split hem. Sleeves are also worked in the round with decreases.

The pattern also provides some helpful tips on how to adjust it to suit your own preferences.
