Only Yoking - Olga Putano

From knitting pattern designer Olga Putano, Only Yoking is a paperback pattern collection focused on classic top-down sweaters with decorative yokes. Inside, you’ll find 12 seamless yoke sweater designs that use the yoke as a canvas for both textured stitches and colourwork, offering plenty of scope to explore your favourite palettes and techniques.

The book is built around three core sweater patterns for different yarn weights: DK, fingering (also known as sock or 4ply), and worsted (aran). Each base sweater is paired with four different yoke designs, giving you a clear route to choosing a style and then personalising the look. Colourwork yokes are designed to use only two colours in a row, while the textured options add interest around the neckline with simple cabling. Step-by-step instructions are included for cable stitch, along with any other special stitches and techniques. All sweaters are knitted top down and in the round, so there’s no sewing up at the end.
