Fair Isle Flat Yoke Pattern for SR-155 chunky knitting machine

This pattern is for a 32-36” (Small to Medium) woman’s yoke cardigan. The needle bed has 110 needles and the yoke pattern uses all of them, which is why larger sizes would need a different knitting pattern. Even so, you must blind stitch a split in the middle of the back of the yoke to join it.

I have used hand-spun wool that is about Aran weight. Each ball is approx 75 gms. I used 2.2 balls of black, 1.5 of white and 3.1 of grey. I reverse the wool through the spinner to make sure it’s light and not overspun.

You will need to punch two cards according to the patterns I’ve included. (Unless you wish to try your own designs.)
