NOTES

DESIGNER'S NOTES - This yoke is worked from the top down with a recommended ease of approximately 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 in.). You can adjust the length of the body and sleeves as needed, keeping in mind to also adjust the amount of yarn required to complete the sweater. To complement this pattern, I invite you to visit the Knitting-101 blog on BiscotteYarns.com for tutorials on stranded colorwork, yoke increases (M1), and short-row wrap-and-turn techniques.

EDITOR'S NOTES - Since the pattern involves several consecutive stitches of the same color and requires carrying the contrasting yarn over a long distance behind the work, I suggest using the Ladderback Jacquard technique. With this method, instead of crossing the unused yarn behind the live stitches, you increase a temporary "ladder stitch" on the wrong side of the work and purl it as you go. To make your work easier, I've modified the charts by adding lines indicating where to create your "ladder stitches". You will find the tutorial "Ladderback Jacquard in three steps" at the end of this pattern, and I have also prepared a video tutorial to help you understand this fabulous technique.

ENJOY! ♥
