Little Thistles is knit top down in the round without seams or much fuss! Short rows are added to shape the neck before the lace yoke is worked. After the yoke is complete, you’ll split for sleeves and knit the body, finally coming back to the sleeves to add a bit of ribbing once complete. Little Thistles is worked in a slightly larger gauge which makes it work up quickly!
