The Harley Sweater is an easy‑wear, top‑down sweater featuring a circular yoke and a soft two‑color pattern. The shape is relaxed with gentle movement through the body, giving the sweater a light, flowing feel. Although the sample yarn is knit on large needles, it creates a surprisingly firm fabric. Both sleeve and body length can be adjusted to suit your personal fit.

Construction notes
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down in the round. Short rows shape the neckline, and stitches for the collar are picked up later to give structure. For the best fit, it’s recommended to pause after completing the colorwork, knit the collar, and finish one sleeve. Block the piece and try it on before completing the remaining sleeve and body.

The fit is designed around the drape and elasticity of Snefnug yarn. If substituting a firmer yarn, you may wish to reduce the number of sleeve stitches for a better result.
