DIY - MK - cotton sweater with square-striped-yoke

Another sweater, and more stripes, too.

Vaguely inspired by Seen by Chloe

This is the sweater that I just finished on my knitting machine. Washed, pressed and ready to wear!
Inspiration comes from this Seen by Chloe sweater, but I didn't want the "bib" effect.

detail of the seams - all done by hand, so not perfect.

swatch sample:

I used 6 strands of 2/50 cotton in denim blue and ivory - same used for the intarsia coral sweater and my mom's pillow covers. I have so much of this cotton that I need to figure out what to make with it!

I always use the double zig-zag cast on explained in Diana Sullivan's video called "the broken toe cast on" .

pattern:

This sweater is made out of 8 parts: front, back, the sleeves and the yoke.
The yoke is made out of 4 parts, sewn together at the sides to make the mitered corners which make the square neckline.
The sweater measures are following (sweater flat, not stretched)
BODY:
LENGHT - cm 64 - 25-3/8"

SLEEVES:
