Tools

Notes
Sweater is worked seamlessly from top down. Back neck is shaped with short rows over the ribbing first, followed by yoke worked in two parts, with crochet and knitting. After sleeves are separated, body and sleeves are worked seamlessly to hem and cuff respectively.
Change to longer circular needles while working the yoke, when needed.
A marker is positioned at the middle / center of the back. To keep the work on track, it’s helpful to place a stitch marker between each chart repetition.
Sleeves have two versions to choose from: one is slightly loose, with no shaping and a crochet motif before the cuffs and the other fitted in plain in St st. Both are long length.

Tools
目数マーカー, かぎ針 (E / 3.5 mm), 別糸もしくはステッチホルダー, 綴じ針

Notes
綴じはぎなしのトップダウンで編むセーター. 後ろ襟のゴム編み部分で引き返し編みを使って前下がりを作ったあと, ヨークはかぎ針編みと棒針編みの2つのパートを編む. 袖を分けた後, 身頃と袖は別々に輪で裾・袖口まで編む.
必要に応じ, ヨークを編む間, 長い輪針に替えること.
マーカーは後ろ身頃の中央に位置する. 編んでいる箇所を見失わないよう, 各チャートの繰り返しの間に目数マーカーを入れると編みやすい.
引き返し編みにはWrap & Turnの技法を用いているが, 好みの方法に変更して良い.
袖は2つのバージョンから選べる: 1つめはゆったりめで減目なし, 袖口の前にかぎ針編みのモチーフを入れるもの, 2つめはメリヤス編みで編むフィット感のあるもの.
