Circular Yoke Sweater
A circular yoke sweater shapes the upper body across a continuous ring rather than along four raglan lines.
What it is
A circular yoke sweater shapes the upper body across a continuous ring rather than along four raglan lines.
How Ruke patterns use it
Ruke Knowledge compares circular-yoke and raglan logic so knitters know where increases or decreases are distributed. The yoke shape affects fit, motif placement and the transition to body and sleeves.
When to use it
Use it when shaping is spread around the yoke in rounds instead of positioned at raglan markers.
What to check
Check increase-round spacing, yoke depth, stitch distribution and sleeve separation counts.
Common mistakes
Treating distributed increases like raglan pairs or ignoring row gauge through the yoke depth.
