  • Yoki - Sweater

    Yoki is a super fluid and light sweater with a top-down drop-sleeve construction and an oversized, boxy fit - ideal over your favorite pair of high-waisted jeans or with a dress! The cable pattern that covers the front is simple and easy to remember (and it can be done without a cable needle!), but looks striking!

    The sweater is knitted in one piece, entirely seamless, from the top down. The cabled pattern that completely covers the front is very delicate - it's a very simple system of cables on 2 stitches only that can be knitted without a cable needle. It's also easy to remember, and very addictive! Yoki's straight line and drop shoulder shape make the sweater a timeless and very comfortable basic.

    Looks nice but it is in a line up of projects that I have not started.

    I haven’t yet received the package of yarn. Mail mix-up. However, five stars for the Making Stories staff who have communicated with me. I know my order will be resolved!
