SIZE: Small, Medium, Large, 1X, 2X Finished Chest 34 (38, 42, 46, 50) in. [86.5 (96.5, 106.5, 117, 127) cm]
Finished Length 28 (28, 29, 30 1/2, 30 1/2) in. [71 (71, 73.5, 77.5, 77.5) cm]
Note: Pattern is written for smallest size with changes for larger sizes in parentheses. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes. To follow pattern more easily, circle all numbers pertaining to your size before beginning.
14 sts + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Classic Yoke Pullover Reviewed by Alethea Bushaw on 2012-12-12
Loved making this one. Was fast to knit. Pattern was simple and the size was a good fit. Made mine in the purple color. Seaming the sleeves and all were easy because of the type of yarn. Next one I'll make a bit longer so I can wear it with boots and leggings.
