.
Note: There are not enough needles on the KX 350 to make the largest size.

Any yarn that will knit to the same gauge may be substituted. Note: even though this yarn is 50% acrylic, it feels and behaves more like 100% cotton, including stretching. For best results, knit to actual body measurements, or even with negative ease.

Yoke lace pattern is worked manually, using the transfer tools. The stitch pattern in this yoke is created by moving stitches inwards on to a central stitch or “spine” in each multiple. Many rows will require using the transfer tool twice to move several stitches inwards.

Even though there is no current KnitALong running on the Facebook group for this pattern, many members are still knitting it, and you will find help and encouragement there. The direct link to Machine Knitting Round Yokes is here. You do need to ask to join as a member and agree to the rules, which are simply no selling or self promotion, and post only about round yoke garments (any style of round yoke is OK).

Also available in standard gauge.
