Spot Sweater is a gorgeously soft sweater with a simple stranded pattern, twisted rib details and a folded rig edge at the neck. The sweater is worked from the top down. The first part of the yoke is worked back and forth to shape the neckline, then the work is joined in the round and the rest of the sweater is worked in the round. If you follow the instructions for the yoke carefully, the stranded pattern and the raglan increases become symmetrical and meet correctly at the armholes.

The sweater can also be knitted for men by knitting the body and sleeves longer. The instructions for how to adjust the pattern for men’s sizes are found in separate sections throughout the pattern. Note that additional yardage is needed for the men’s sizes.
