October Eves
October Eves is a circular short sleeve yoke that is worked seamlessly from the top down. The neck ribbing is worked first, after that, several series of short rows are used for a comfortable and beautifully shaped finish.
The yoke is shaped with increases that are evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the upper body.
Sleeves are then placed on hold and the body is worked toward the hem. The sleeve stitches are then placed on the needles again and worked in the round toward the cuffs.
The lower edge of the body and the sleeves are finished with i-cord bind-off.
The top is relax-fitting and as it is knitted top-down lengths are easily adaptable.
Beginners friendly as you only work with 2 colors at a time.
Please note that the stranded pattern is charted only.
Please, read carefully the whole pattern before you start knitting. As the pattern gives detailed calculations for all sizes, I recommend highlighting all numbers related to your size in order to have an easy overview of the pattern.
