Cloud Sweater Knitting Pattern Cloud Sweater is a knitting pattern worked seamlessly from the top down. The sweater features a relaxed fit with a structured yoke and clean stockinette stitch finish. The back yoke is worked first, back and forth, with short rows to shape the shoulders. Each shoulder is then worked separately, back and forth, and shaped with short rows before being joined to form the front yoke. The front and back yoke are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round. Sleeves are worked in the round from stitches picked up along the armhole openings. The neckline is finished with a stockinette stitch funnel neck, worked from stitches picked up along the neck opening. The sweater is designed to have approx. 25 cm of positive ease in the smaller sizes, with gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes. Before beginning your project, knit a swatch to ensure that the recommended needle size gives you the correct gauge.
