Fasten off, leaving long tail.
Make 2.
Yoke:
Pin sleeves- one at beginning of body rounds and one at marker, or so they are even across body. Make sure ends of rounds are facing the body so the tails can be used later to sew underarm to body. Count 5 sts out from each marker and pin. You should have each sleeve pinned to body with 11 sts.
Join yarn to body at the left of one of the pinned sleeves. Lay sweater so that it is flat with the sleeves on the side. Place marker on the st on the fold of each sleeve.
Round 1: Ch 2. (1 DC into next st) across body and around the sleeves, leaving 11 pinned sts on either side unworked. Join with sl st.
Round 2: Repeat Round 1.
Round 3: Ch 2, (1 DC into next st) until 1st marker. Dec over next 2 sts. Work 1 DC into next st and across to next marker, dec over next 2 sts. (1 DC into next st) around, join with sl st.
Round 4-6: Repeat Round 3. Try on sweater for a better fit- it should stay up fairly comfortably. Dec more over these rounds for a tighter shoulder fit.
Round 7-8: Repeat Round 1.
Round 9: Ch 2, (1 DC into next st) until 1st maker. Work 2 DC into next st, (1 DC into next st) around until 2nd marker. Work 2 DC into next st, (1 DC into next st) around. Join with sl st.
Round 10: Repeat Round 9.
Round 11-12: Repeat Round 1.
Fasten off. Sew sleeves to body under arms, weave in ends and block.
Am looking forward to starting this tonight, I love this look. I am a bit bigger than you though, so will be changing it a little.
ReplyDeleteI am a little confused about the yoke bit - any photos you could take that might help with layout of it? Will probably make more sense when I get to it.
Don't worry, it's so much easier than it seems! Basically, you pin the underarms and don't work them- then you just work around the body and sleeves as though they are one big piece.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know if you'd like a diagram or something when you get to that spot!
Will do - casting on now :)
ReplyDeleteOK dumb question. '4 DC and 3 rows = 2 inches'.
ReplyDeleteMy 3 rows are 2 inches high. But are my 4 DC wide also supposed to be 2 inches wide?
Yup! That should make approx a 2" square.
ReplyDeleteI'm using the right wool for the project, and a size 10mm hook (says 7mm-9mm), and i still can't get it anywhere close to a square. I don't have a bigger hook to get the width :(
