Snårvinda is not your typical Ziggurat pullover.
I wanted to knit a sweater with a colourful classical round yoke but with a rather more tailored shape.
The solution is a fun mashup of circular yoke and classic Ziggurat increases – a top-up-down construction.
Start with a provisional cast on below the colourwork to upwards. Bind off at the neck. Now knit the provisional stitches top-down – add with slight body shaping and finish with a split ribbed hem.
The mid-length sleeve picks up a simple motif from the yoke.
- Ziggurat mashup: everything is knitted in one go, top-up-down
- no seaming
- very few ends to weave in
- bold and simple stylized garland motif
- optional bust dart
- hip-friendly split hem
As usual, there's the Helpful Table to keep track of increases.

With the Ziggurat method you fashion a tailored and flattering silhouette – a yoke that sits and fits just right across your shoulders and with no bagging at the armholes.
- tailored & top down
- entirely seamless
- sleeve caps are knitted along with the yoke for a 'set-in' sleeve
- neck-shaping (also in back)
- built-in everything (pockets, buttonbands, seamlessly lined hems)
- absolutely minimal sewing in of ends
The Ziggurat Steps are instantly recognisable from one pattern to another.
