Once Again is a top-down, pullover sweater; knit in-the-round with a stranded yoke that is coupled with simple cable stitches. Short rows are used to shape the neckline after the yoke pattern is completed. Gentle waist shaping gives way to a slight A-line look at the hips resulting in an approximate 2½” to 2¾” larger hip circumference than the chest circumference.
An update that for a second pattern which uses separate (non-monochromatic) colors for the yoke segments and the pattern for Sheldon the Sheep’s Once Again sweater are included in the zip file.
