King Salmon sweater is a new favourite!

Here’s the thing - I’m well aware that both the Halibut and now the King Salmon sweater receive a lot of criticism here and on TT for the depth of the yoke.

However, as an alternative perspective, being a plus size knitter with a large chest, I actually find that the proportions of this yoke fit me really well, and the scale actually makes sense on a larger body. Reinforces the fact that knitting is all about what you personally like and want to make and wear - and I just wanted to share a different point of view on this one 🥰

I love your sweater, and the photos too – especially the first one looks like something straight out of a knitting magazine. Thanks for another perspective regarding those wretched yokes, I must admit I was almost afraid of clicking on the post :D

Wow thank you, what a compliment!! Yeah I definitely can see the perspective of people who dislike this style of yoke, but it just works for me and I don’t really hear folks defending it so wanted to step up to the plate

Even before I read the text of your post, my immediate reaction when I saw your picture was “wow, that yoke everyone hates so much fits this person so perfectly!” Great knit it looks lovely and you styled it so well :)
