A yoke is a cut-off part of a product that forms its upper part. The yoke is made on skirts, trousers, jeans, shirts and blouses. The yoke can be composite, solid and round. A sweater with a yoke looks very impressive. The yoke of a sweater can be of different shapes: round, rectangular or V-shaped. It can be decorated with braids, openwork patterns or ornaments, like Icelandic sweaters called "lopapeis". The pattern can be either geometric or floral.

Instructions
Step 1
If you want to knit a sweater with a rectangular yoke, then knit it entirely across the product. Start at the right sleeve. Cast on the required number of loops and knit with the selected pattern, for the bevels of the sleeves, add one loop in every second row. After 25-30 cm from the dialing row, divide the work in the middle and knit the sides separately. After knitting the required length, set the loops aside and knit symmetrically in front. Join the neckline of the back and front and continue to knit together. Decrease symmetrically. Those. decrease 1 st in every second row. Close the hinges. Type on the edge of the yoke in front and behind the required number of loops and knit the front and back fabric from top to bottom.
Step 2
To knit a sweater with a round yoke, start with the typesetting row. Close the circle. Try to do this as tightly as possible so that there are no holes at the junction. Then knit about 6 cm with 1 * 1 or 2 * 2 elastic. make an increase and knit the fabric to the armholes. Place a few loops on the sides of the pin. Tie the sleeves. Attach the sleeve to the shelf and knit them on one knitting needle. Next, knit the loops on the back and attach the second sleeve, knit the loops of the sleeves and connect it to the front.
Step 3
Now start knitting the yoke. The yoke can be knitted with an ornament, in the style of Icelandic sweaters "lopapeis", you can make a yoke with braids or an openwork pattern. Decrease the shoulder bevels. Having knitted the required length of the yoke, make a neckline by tying it with an elastic band 1 * 1 or 2 * 2, and finish the product. To make the sweater easy to put on over your head, do not tightly finish the neckline.
Step 4
You can start knitting a sweater from the neck, i.e. top down. Tie the neck harness first. Then switch to larger needles. If you knit an ornament, then note that the pattern will need to be read from top to bottom. Increase to form the shoulder line. When knitting a pattern, hold the threads loosely at work, otherwise, the knitted fabric will turn out to be wrinkled. Next, continue to knit in front and back and sleeves. This method of knitting a yoke is convenient in that you do not need to sew the armhole with a knitted seam.
