The Knitting Fiend

This is the yoke-u-lator program to create the pattern for the circular yoke sweater. As you can see, the photos show my old "Olympic Circle" Sweater. I'll be taking photos of the current sweater and updating this entry later this week. I'm also working up a discussion about shaping yokes. (It's easy, but I just know knitters are going to want to vary the yoke shaping to fit in pretty decorative patterns!

The program defaults will result in directions for a "normal" length sweater that hits about midhip. I'll post the actual dimenions of my sweater (which is extra long) later. Meanwhile, you can fiddle and let me know if you have any trouble getting the submit buttons to work!

Knit this simple circular yoke sweater in your size using your yarn. The sweater is knit top down permitting you to adjust the fit as you go.
