Notes

For short-row round yoke:

Cast on 26 stitches provisional.

Observe this rule: Slip the first stitch of every row. Knit the last stitch of every row. Even the purl rows. Especially the purl rows. Make sure the slipped edges are tidy especially on the wide edge as the wide edge will show over the arms. Sure you can go back, pick up, and knit a few rows and bind off, but why would you if you didn’t have to?

Also, pick a short-row technique you like. I use German short rows. Any short-row turn will work.

  1. First row after you pick up, knit 7, place marker, knit 6, pm, knit 6, pm, knit 7.
  2. Purl.
  3. Knit.
  4. Slip 1, knit 6, short-row turn.
  5. Purl to the last stitch, knit last stitch.
  6. Slip 1, knit 6, slip marker, knit 6, short-row turn.
  7. Purl to the last stitch, knit last stitch.
  8. Slip 1 Knit 6, slip marker, knit 6, slip marker, short-row turn.
  9. Purl to the last stitch, knit last stitch.
  10. Slip 1 Knit 6, slip marker, knit 6, slip marker, knit 7.

On all subsequent wedges do the same thing except on row 1 you slip the markers.

How many wedges? So far 1/4 of the way around takes 12 wedges.

40 wedges looks about right. Once 50 g skein was just enough to do a swatch and 40 wedges for the yoke. Note to self: use a different skein for yoke and swatch next time just in case.

For the last wedge, do not knit the last row. Grafting it to the beginning will form that last row.

I have a circular yoke. The yoke is 40 wedges. Each wedge is about 6 st (6/in).

now to divide the stitches up as per a raglan sweater.

40 is not evenly divisible by 6, and 6 is the key number for raglan math. So we fudge things a little bit.

we use 36 to work the raglan math and add one to the front, one to the back, and one to each sleeve. Some care needs to be taken to align the wedges so that, for instance, the front of the neck doesn’t look off-center.

I placed markers at the raglan points.

My next step is to pick up for the back and knit that down, increasing as if it was a raglan even though the sleeves aren’t happening yet.
