Babbling Brook Sweater

Details

Babbling Brook is made top down in one piece with an invisible seam. The yoke has an extended back so that this round yoke design has a better fit, a bit higher at the back than at the front. It is designed to have some ease on the bust and has no waist shaping. In this design I use center SC and some variations on this stitch. I expect that you already know how to make a center SC and a center HDC, all other variations will be explained. Other names for center SC are waistcoat stitch and knit stitch. The pattern has a written description with pictures and links to video tutorials to help make things clear.

This pattern also includes a section on how to personalize the sweater to your specific measurements and desired fit.
