Fletching

CONSTRUCTION

• The body and sleeves are worked circularly and joined at the underarms, then the yoke is worked in the round. While shaping the neck, the yoke is worked back and forth. The collar is picked up and worked in the round after the garment is blocked.

FINISHED DIMENSIONS

• 35½ (39½, 43½, 47½, 51½, 55½)” circumference at chest
• Sample shown is size 39½ with + 5½” ease on the model

GAUGE

• 20 stitches & 30 rounds = 4″ in reverse stockinette stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking


Note: Correct length of the one-piece yoke is dependent upon achieving the stated round gauge.


NEEDLES

Size A (for Main Fabric)

• One each 16″, 24″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs) in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 4½ mm (US 7)

Size B (for Ribbing)

• One each 16″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs) two sizes smaller than Size A
• Suggested Size: 3¾ mm (US 5)

Size C (optional, for Tubular Cast On only)

• One 32″ circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs), on size smaller than Size B
• Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

32″ circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop Method for working small circumferences in the round (i.e., Sleeves).

Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may with to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
