Sunday Sweater Junior

The Sunday Sweater Junior is worked from the top down. The yoke is worked in the round in rib and shaped with increases. The body and sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch and finished with rib edges. After working the neck edge, it is knitted together to form a folded edge before the yoke is worked – alternatively, it can be folded over and sewn to the inner side of the sweater at the end.
