In this DROPS video we give you a quick overview of how a garment where the yoke is round sits on the body, and where the increase/decrease lines are positioned.
SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece can be knitted/crocheted top down or bottom up, often without the need for assembly.
TOP DOWN:
The yoke is knitted/crocheted across all stitches. Increases which give width to the body and sleeves can be worked in several different ways, for example according to a diagram which shows where all the increases occur, or evenly on certain places with some cms between each increase-round/row.
When the yoke is finished, the body and sleeves are continued downwards. The neck can either be worked to begin with or at the end of the project.
BOTTOM UP:
Start by knitting/crocheting the body and sleeves separately as far as the beginning of the yoke. Then knit/crochet the yoke across both the body and sleeves, while stitches are decreased.
Decreases can be worked in several different ways, for example according to a diagram which shows where all the decreases occur, or evenly on certain places with some cms between each decrease-round/row. When the yoke is finished, the neck is worked.
