The yoke can be knit both with and without the wrap stitch that forms very delicate bobbles - its up to you to decide.

After the yoke you will knit a set of short rows to elevate the back and shape the neckline. Then the body and sleeves will be separated while casting on stitches for underarms. This sweater has long cozy sleeves with a slight balloon effect.
