GAUGE

22 stitches and 28 rounds = 4" [10cm] in Yoke Patterns 1, 2, and 3 with the larger circular needle.

To save time, take time to check gauge.

NOTES

The body and sleeves of this garment are made in the round from the bottom up; at the underarm, the body and sleeves are joined together, and the colorful yoke is worked in the round.

For the yoke, start with the longest circular needle and change to shorter ones when necessary to accommodate the number of stitches.

For the sleeves, begin with double-pointed needles and change to a circular needle when there are enough stitches accumulated to do so.

Use stranded technique for the colorwork. If 3 colors are used within a round, be sure to carry them loosely across the fabric the same way 2 colors would be worked.

Each size will work the Yoke Charts with different numbers of rounds as follows:

Small: Work the 3 charts as presented.

Medium: Work extra rounds as follows: Chart 1: work [Round 2] 3 times; Chart 2: work [Round 1] twice; Chart 3: work [Round 12] twice.

Large: Work extra rounds as follows: Chart 1: work [Round 2] 5 times; Chart 2: work [Rounds 1 and 5] twice; Chart 3: work [Rounds 6 and 14] twice.
