Torino Sweater

This crochet pattern is in English. ABOUT THE PATTERN AND DESIGN Worked top-down and entirely without seaming, the Torino Sweater is a lightweight men's sweater with careful shaping for a great fit. The back yoke features gentle increases to fit the wearer's shoulders better than a traditional drop shoulder, and the sleeves are tapered for a fitted but still comfortable cuff. The benefit of working top-down is that you can try it on as you're making it and customize the length.
