Yoked Sweater


Yoked Sweater 
by Kathy Pennington
Inspired by a friend who makes Suzetta Williams Baby Vest Garter Ridges for charity all the time, her granddaughter, a teenager,  wanted one for herself.  She searched for weeks and could not find the exact pattern she wanted.  In a conversation we wanted to give it a try, so we contacted Suzie and I set out to create this sweater.  Her granddaughter loved it.
I would like to thank Suzie and Erin for their inspiration and Erin for testing the pattern.  I hope others enjoy it also.
I have written in several options that can be made as you go along such as 1 or 2 buttons, and different lengths.  I would suggest you read the pattern carefully before starting.
 Materials

I am also interested in any help you could please provide to make this sweater in an adult woman's size. It is just the simple type of pattern I was looking for to make for myself and a friend. Thanks for sharing.
