Eysa is a round yoke sweater worked seamlessly from the top down. Started with a provisional cast on, first the back neck is raised by working some short rows. Then the beautiful color work yoke is knitted in rounds down to sleeve separation. For the color work the pattern contains two variations for the yoke and the sleeve pattern. There are only very small differences between the two charts. When finished the yoke the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and then the body is completed working in rounds down to the hem. Then sleeves are worked in rounds down to the cuff. Finally the neckband is completed.

Eysa ist ein Rundpassen Pullover, der, beginnend mit einem provisorischen Maschenanschlag, nahtlos von oben nach unten gearbeitet wird. Nur während der verkürzten Reihen, durch die der rückwärtige Halsausschnitt angehoben wird, wird in Reihen gestrickt. Für die Rundpasse bietet die Anleitung zwei leicht unterschiedliche Muster, die in separaten Charts gezeichnet sind. Nachdem die Passe die erforderliche Länge erreicht hat, werden die Ärmelmaschen stillgelegt und der Körper fertig gestellt. Danach werden die Ärmel in Runden gestrickt. Zuletzt wird eine schmale Blende für den Halsausschnitt gestrickt.
