The Novice Sweater is knitted in the round from top to bottom. This means that you start by knitting the collar, then the yoke, then the body and finally the sleeves. The sweater is knitted in stockinette stitch. The collar, cuffs and bottom of the hem are knitted in rib. The Novice Sweater has a round yoke, which is shaped by knitting four evenly spaced increases.
