This is a recipe style pattern where you can use Any Gauge of yarn for Any Size. It begins with an I-cord neck edging. Stitches are picked up around this I-Cord and 12 markers are set up as increase points for the Yoke. The 3 colours for the Helical Method of one-round stripes are introduced, and the stripes and increases commence. Before the bottom of the yoke is reached you need to measure your fabric for your gauge (number of stitches in 1”), then measure your body and arms and make some calculations for the number of stitches for the bottom of the yoke (nothing your calculator can’t handle). Sleeve stitches are placed on spare yarn and the body and then the sleeves are knit.

There are modifications included for adding some extra width across the Front of the yoke, as well as waist and hip shaping.

Helical Stripes (1-round stripes)
The pink pullover is worked with 2 variegated yarns and one solid. The hemp/cotton version is worked with 3 solid colours.
