Minimalist funnel neck
by Sarah Sutherland sarah@parallaxknitting.com Originally published in Magknits, October 2006 This sweater solves my knitting Catch22:| don't buy sweaters because this depletes perfectly legitimate yarn resources, and I don't knit anything ordinary, because why would I want to spend that much time on something that is not fabulous? This means that I never have a plain black cardigan or pullover. This funnel neck pullover solves this paradox, by being a wardrobe basic, while incrporatinggreat yamandsuffciet kittininterestokpm. This sweateris close fitting and an exercise in three dimensional knitting. The whole sweateris knit in one piece from the neck down. confess one of my parameters was that I wanted a project | could work on without looking, and afterthe yoke shaping this can be done. The final product is something I would make in more colours and with differin lengh sleves and txtures, but am already onto my ext ecentric prject. Difficuty intermediate

Yoke shaping
Work 9 (11, 15, 15) sts forback, pm (firstkind); work 5 sts, pm (second kind); work 3 (3, 3,5) sts forleft shoulder, pm (second kind); work 5 sts, pm (first kind); work 9 (11, 15, 15) sts forfront, pm (first kind); work 5 sts, pm; work 3 (3,3, 5) sts forright shoulder, pm (second kind); work 5 sts, pm. Note: the first set of markers marks the beginning and the end of the front and back sections, the second set of markers marks the beginning and the end of the sleeve/shoulder sections. The 5 sts between the two kinds of markers are the stitches worked between the shaping forthe body and the sleeves. Allincreases will be worked within the same set of markers,the 5 sts do not increase or decrease. Maintain the ki, pi rib as set on front and back and sleeves, working increased stitchesinto pattemn. Continue the 5 sts between the different markers as set. Switch tolongercircular needle when the numberof stitchesrequires it.

About the designer
These days Sarah is knitting and working on the Prairies. She continues to have trouble squeezing everything she wants to do into life and wants to get in shape/learn French/write that novel/become an excellent cook/travel the world/etc,but strangely enough the knitting always seems to get done.
