Summer Circle
Here’s a summer version of the  circular yoke sweater. The yoke is sideways knitted by means of short rows. The sample  features a faux fairisle yoke created by means of short rows. This top has much in common with the CAP SLEEVE COTTON top but this one also features hand manipulated lace.

YARN, GAUGE AND MACHINE: 
Two gauges are provided so that either a bulky or standard gauge machine may be used. Silk City .75 softball cotton or other soft worsted cotton yarn gets a gauge of 4 stitches/6 rows per inch  at about stitch size 6 on the bulky. Most mid-gauge machines can match the  gauge. Bonds try key-plate 3-4 and work the ribbing by reforming stitches. A single 1 lb. Cone will make the first 3 sizes. Have 2 cones on hand for the larger sizes. For standard  gauge and Passap machines, choose one of the many yarns that gets 7 stitches/10  rows per inch. 2/8 cotton works well. 1 lb will be adequate for sizes through 42”. Larger sizes may require 2.  Take gauge measurements AFTER washing.

SIZES:  finished bust/chest:  38, 40, 42, 45,48,50”  Finished length 26” for first 3  sizes  27.5” for others
