This top-down, circular yoke sweater is inspired by a window from Notre Dame de Chartres. It begins with a twisted 1×1 rib at the neck, flowing seamlessly into the yoke pattern, which mimics stone tracery and extends through the body and sleeves, evoking gothic arches. As the yoke expands, various window motifs emerge. The fleur-de-lis motif is repeated at the hem and cuffs, both finished with twisted 1×1 ribbing. To keep the vibrant contrast colors discreet, the Ladderback Jacquard method is used for stranding, with supplementary charts provided at the end of the pattern.

Materials
Yarn: Malabrigo Rios (100% Merino; 210 yd [162 m] / 3.5 oz [100 g]): 63 Natural (MC), 5 (5, 6, 6, 7) (8, 8, 9) skeins; 866 Arco Iris (CC), 2 (2, 3, 3, 3) (3, 4, 4) skeins.
Needles: US 5 (3.5 mm): 16″/40.5 cm and circulars (cir) or double-pointed (dpn) for working small circumference in the round.
US 6 (4.0 mm): 24-60″/61-152.5 cm circular (cir).
US 7 (4.5 mm): 16″/40.5 cm and 24-60″/61-152.5 cm circular (cir).
Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Markers, stitch holders, cable needle, tapestry needle.
Pattern Notes
This top-down, circular yoke sweater begins with a tubular CO and a twisted 1×1 rib neckband. The twisted stitches flow into the yoke pattern, which also features stranded colorwork. Short-rows raise the sweater back before dividing body and sleeves. The small twisted-stitch cable continues through the body, and then flows into additional colorwork at the hems, which are then finished with more 1×1 twisted rib. To minimize the vibrant CC showing through the MC, sweater shown uses Ladderback Jacquard method for managing stranding. Supplementary charts showing the additional Ladderback stitches are included at end of pattern.
Special Stitches
This project is much easier and faster to work if you work cables without a cable needle by rearranging stitches while briefly dangling a stitch:
1/1 L__: From the back, skipping the first stitch, insert the RHN purlwise into the second stitch. Carefully slide first 2 stitches off LHN. Insert LHN into first (dangling) stitch. Slip stitch from RH needle to left. Stitches are now rearranged; k/k tbl as specified.
1/1 R__: From the front, skipping the first stitch, insert the RHN purlwise into the second stitch. Carefully slide first 2 stitches off LHN. Insert LHN into first (dangling) stitch. Slip stitch from RH needle to left. Stitches are now rearranged; k/k tbl as specified.

Ladderback Jacquard
Ladderback Jacquard is a method of managing colorwork floats. It is a derivative of double knitting, with fewer stitches on the wrong side. These extra stitches are worked with all yarns in front, so they float freely on the wrong side. Not only does this method make the floats less visible, it also adds extra stretch to the floats. In this design, it also helps emphasize the cables. While it is possible to work the LBJ sts directly behind a cable as a 1/1/1 cable, it is easier to move a LBJ st to the side of a cable the round before. When this happens, it is worked as a 2-color cable, but it may help to think of it more as rearranging stitches.
