| Description | Ethereal is a lovely yoked sweater. It is worked top-down and seamless in the round using two colors fingering weight yarn. Pattern is written with planned positive ease added; choose your actual bust size as the pattern size and your finished sweater will be a bit bigger. It looks fabulous in any number of color combinations, and it would also be lovely with two different yarn types, say the main color in a merino and the contrasting color in a mohair. This sweater features a rolled neckline, vertical stripes and a slipped stitch pattern in the two-color yoke, a split hem, and textured two-color cuffs. It is worked without waist shaping. The pattern has been tech edited.
