This knitting pattern is a downloadable PDF that guides you to knit a seamless top-down sweater with a circular yoke in lace and bobbles, with inclusive sizing and clear instructions for every step.

Knit in cozy worsted weight yarn, Amarelle wraps you in warmth with its timeless circular yoke and gently ribbed neckline. The intricate lace pattern forms a graceful motif of leaves and fruit, as exquisite as the sour cherries that inspire it. Designed for both elegance and comfort, it is available in 12 sizes, ranging from 32 to 61.5 inches at the bust, with two collar options.

Construction
This sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down, beginning with a provisional cast-on. A short section of short rows shapes the neckline before transitioning into a delicate lace yoke. Once the yoke is complete, sleeve stitches are set aside while the body is worked in the round, finishing with ribbing. The sleeves are then resumed and knit down to the wrists, also ending in ribbing. Finally, the provisional cast-on is undone, and the cowl is worked in ribbing, either as a short ribbed collar or a turtleneck.
