Honoka is a pullover featuring a deep raglan construction and relaxed sleeves in a textured stripe pattern. It is worked seamlessly from the top down, starting with the neckband.
The neckline is shaped using German short rows with raglan increases, which are continued in the round to the final yoke depth. The body and sleeves are then separated, and the lower body is worked in the round to the hem. The sleeve stitches are picked up, and the sleeves are worked in the round to the cuffs.
The pattern offers options for 3/4 or long sleeves and hem with or without shaping. The sample shown has a shaped hem, which has decreased stitches and narrower width.
Instructions are written and partly both written and charted.

For the straight hem option, approx. 17 (17, 17, 17, 16)(17, 16, 16, 17) m [19 (19, 19, 19, 17)(19, 17, 17, 19) yds] of each yarn are additionally required.
Please note that the yardage is estimated and can vary depending on your yarn, gauge, modifications, etc.
For size L with 3/4 sleeves, the yardage of Trio 1 will be plenty. If you knit at the correct gauge without modifying the pattern, you will likely be able to knit in three skeins (you may have to unravel the swatch). However, if you choose the straight hem, you will probably need four skeins, as indicated.
