• Product description

  This playful yoke adds a note of cheeky nostalgia to your cold-weather wardrobe. Graphic zigzag patterning is unrepentant fun against a splashy main color, but you could change the look entirely by substituting a quieter three-color scheme from the Shelter palette. The stranded colorwork on the lower torso, sleeves, and yoke uses only two colors per round. A comfortable unisex fit makes for easy layering.
  Pattern includes both a shaped and a classic version.

  Designer: Michele Wang
  
  Collection: Yokes

  GAUGE

  • 20 stitches & 30 rounds = 4″ in stockinette stitch with Size A needle, after blocking
  • 20 stitches & 21 rounds = 4″ in chart patterns with Size B needle, after blocking

  
  

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

  
  

  NEEDLES

  Size A (for Single-Color Stockinette Stitch)

  • One each 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 Two-Color Rounds of Chart Patterns)

  • One 32″ circular needle and one set of DPNs*, one size larger than Size A
  • Suggested Size: 5 mm (US 8)

  
  

  Due to significant variance among knitters, your colorwork fabric should be swatched and wet-blocked prior to knitting your sweater to determine whether or not this needle size should be larger, smaller or equal to Size A. Please read about Speed-Swatching for Circular Knitting (see Special Techniques).

  
  

  Size C (for Ribbing)

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

  
  

  Size D (optional; for Tubular Cast On and Bind Off only)

  • One each 16″ and 32″ circular needles and one set of DPNs*, one size smaller than Size C
  • Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

  
  

  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 wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.

  
  

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

  
  

  Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are charted only.
