Porcelain Yoke Sweater Kit By Lene Holme Samsø

Porcelain Yoke Sweater is easy to knit because you only work the color pattern on the right side. It is worked with short rows to create a higher neckline at the back than at the front. The short rows are worked after the neck edge, just before the color pattern begins.

Your kit includes:

- Yarn (Tynn Peer Gynt and Tynn Silk mohair in the original colour of the pattern)
- Pdf pattern. Sent to your email when your order is being processed. Please make sure you include the right email address when checking out.

Suggested needles
Circular needles 3 and 4 mm (US 2.5 and 6) (40 and 80 cm [116 and 32”]).
Double-pointed needles 3 mm (US 2.5). If you use the magic loop method, you do not need double-pointed needles.

Gauge
21 sts x approx. 26 rows in one color stockinette stitch = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4”] on 4 mm (US 6).
21 sts x approx. 25 rows in colorwork pattern = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4”] on 4 mm (US 6).

Note: This sweater is worked with 2 strands of yarn, using 1 strand of each quality.
Wash the gauge swatch before measuring the stitch gauge. Ensure that the stitch gauge is consistent in width (21 sts x 10 cm [4”]) whether you're working in one color stockinette stitch or two colored pattern. If the pattern tends to be tighter than the stockinette stitch, consider using needles half a size larger for the patterned sections.

Size guide
Porcelain Yoke Sweater is meant to have a positive ease of 14-20 cm [5.5-8”]. The model is shown with a positive ease of 20cm [8”].
Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the largest part of your upper body). Then look at the measurements at the beginning of the pattern (these are the finished measurements of the sweater). Positive ease is the difference between your personal measurement and the sweater's measurement. For example, if your bust is 94 cm [37”], a size M will give you a positive ease of 20 cm [8”] (114 cm – 94 cm = 20 cm). [45” - 37” = 8”].

Construction
Porcelain Yoke Sweater is worked from the top down. The neck edge is double, it is folded and knitted together. After the neck edge, short rows are worked, creating a deeper neckline in the front than at the back. The round yoke with 2 pattern borders and increases is then worked. Raglan increases are worked before finishing the body and sleeves separately. The third pattern border is worked at the top of the body and sleeves.
