A modern, vintage-inspired chunky yoked pullover with wide sleeves and a relaxed, drop-shoulder silhouette. Worked flat in pieces with two-colour rib detail at the yoke, this cosy jumper knits to 16 sts per 4 in (10 cm) on 5.5/4.5 mm needles and is graded to fit bust 30–40 in (76–102 cm). Clear, line-by-line instructions and simple finishing make it an ideal intermediate project: easy stocking stitch for the body and sleeves, crisp 2×2 rib for the yoke, and neat seamed construction for a polished fit.
