PAT T E R N N O T E S
This is a cropped, loose-fitting, yoke-necked pullover worked from the bottom up. A strand of fine
wool yarn is held together with a strand of mohair throughout the pattern. The body and sleeves
are worked separately in the round to the base of the yoke, then joined to work the yoke. Short rows
are worked at the back hem for a more comfortable fit. Sleeve instructions are written to use DPNs,
however an alternate method of working small circumferences can be used, such as Magic-Loop.
As yoke decreases, change to a shorter circular needle. Row gauge is important to obtain the correct
yoke depth. Be sure to swatch!
STITCH GUIDE
M1L (make 1 stitch left leaning)
Insert left needle, from front to back, under strand of yarn which runs between next st on left needle
and last st on right needle; knit this st through back loop (1 stitch increased)
M1R (make 1 stitch left leaning)
Insert left needle, from back to front, under strand of yarn which runs between next st on left needle
and last st on right needle: knit this st through front loop (1 stitch increased)
Ssk (Slip, slip, knit- single decrease)
Slip two stitches knit-wise one at a time from left needle to right needle. Insert point of left needle
into front of two slipped stitches and knit them together with right needle (1 stitch decreased)
w&t (wrap & turn)
Slip next st to the right needle, take yarn to opposite side of work between needles, slip same st
back onto left needle. Turn work, ready to begin working in opposite direction.
Concealing wrap: Insert tip of right needle into wrap from underneath, insert tip of right needle
into the st as normal, and knit the st and its wrap together.
