Jacob Sweater {adult version}

The Jacob sweater is a simple yoke pattern fitting for beginners. It is worked from the top-down, with several increases throughout the yoke. Once you reach the armhole, body and sleeves are split and worked separately. The neckline is formed using a special stretchy cast-on technique, which ensures a comfortable wear. The design of the Jacob sweater is fitting for all genders and ages, making it a very versatile pattern for a unisex garment.
