CONSTRUCTION NOTES

The Larinda Yoke Sweater is worked top-down, in a seamless construction. First, stitches are cast on for the neck opening. Short rows are worked on the back of the yoke, then the yoke proceeds in the round with regular increases distributed throughout. A chart is used for the triangular shaped motifs.

Stitches are set aside on waste yarn for the sleeves, with additional body stitches cast on at the underarm. The body is worked in the round with no shaping. It finishes with twisted half rib and bobbles at the hem.

All three sleeve options begin with the held stitches and stitches picked up at the underarm. Sleeves are worked in the round. Lastly, the cast on stitches at the neck are picked up and the collar is worked in twisted half rib.
