A top-down, yoke sweater you can wear every day — clean lines, comfy ease, polished finish.
We’re thrilled to add a true wardrobe workhorse to the pattern library: the Simple Seamless Sweater. If you’ve wanted to knit a sweater that looks professionally finished without the stress of seaming, this top-down yoke design is your moment. Worked in the round with gentle positive ease, it’s the kind of make you’ll reach for on repeat — with jeans and sneakers, over dresses, or layered for chilly mornings.
