Either version you knit, this garment is an excellent addition to your winter knits wardrobe!

    GAUGE:
    20 sts x 26 rnds = 4"/10cm in colorwork and St st, knit in-the-round and blocked

     

    NEEDLES:
    Needles listed are suggested. Always take time to swatch. Note: Depending on the size knit, a longer circular gauge needle may be needed to accommodate yoke and body stitches. Use the appropriate length for the size you are making.
    • Gauge Needle: Size US 6 (4.0mm) 16", 32", 40", and 60" (for sizes 46.5"/116.5 cm and above) circular needles—or size necessary to obtain gauge
    • Smaller Needle: Size US 5 (3.75mm) 16", 32", 40", and 60 (for sizes 46.5"/116.5cm and above) circular needles—or one size smaller than gauge needle

     

    TOOLS:
    Stitch marker, waste yarn, and tapestry needle

     

    NOTES:
    • In order to maintain gauge in stranded knitting, it’s important to use the appropriate length circular needles. Should stitches be too close together, floats may not be long enough and could tighten yoke gauge.
    • Piece is knit in the round from the top down.
    • Short-row shaping is used before the Yoke Increases to raise the back of neck.
    • Sleeves are placed on waste yarn while the Body is worked in the round to the bottom edge, then Sleeves are worked in the round to the Cuff.
    • For short rows, sample shown uses the method for Japanese Short Rows in the round.
    • Stranded colorwork knitting often tightens one’s gauge; therefore, consider going down a needle size after working the chart or vice versa. Sample shown used that technique.
    • A provisional cast on is used for the neck. Neckline edging is added after completion so you may easily customize fit at the top.
