Circular yoke pullover with textured stitches Knit Cafe Midori

diagonal cuff line & smaller neckline Short sleeves & wider neckline Short sleeves & wider neckline

Yarn: Lace or light fingering weight yarn. The degree of transparency depends
on the weight of yarn.

Sizes: One size (over sized) in this pattern. See also the separated modification
pattern for larger bust size: 97 to 122 cm [38 to 48“].

Sleeve: Short sleeve (long sleeve) in the pattern.

Yardage: 400 (560) m [438 (613) yds], excluding yarn for knitting swatch.

Gauge: 14 sts x 20 rows = 10 cm [4“], with main needle in stockinette stitch after
wet blocking.

Needles: 6 mm [US 10] circular needle as main needle. 5 mm [US 8] needle for
finishing sleeve (only for long sleeves). Adjust needle size if necessary to
get gauge.

Notions: 5 stitch markers, 1 for marking „end of round“ and 4 for „raglan &
center front“ (I recommend to use a different color marker for end
of round), tapestry needle, waste yarn, crochet hook (only for smaller
neckline)
