NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• This pullover is worked in the round from the top down. German Short rows are worked after the yoke pattern to raise the back for a better fit.

• When increasing for the yoke, change to a longer circular needle when there are too many stitches to fit comfortably on the 16” circular needle.

• In Rounds 46, 50, 54, and 58 of the Yoke Chart, stitches are increased in one section, then decreased away two rounds later. The chart grid is altered in this section to accommodate the extra stitches.
