Tresse
For pattern support, please find the questions thread here
Tresse is worked seamlessly from the top down.
First the yoke is worked back and forth, with additional increases towards the front to shape the neckline. Once the final neck CO is made, the front pattern is set up and the yoke is worked in rounds with raglan increases to sleeve separation, where sleeve stitches are put on hold. From this point the body is worked in rounds top down to the split hem. Neck finishing is worked next. Then sleeve stitches are picked up again to work the sleeves in rounds top down to the cuffs.
The front pattern is charted and written out (line by line).
