Pattern Workflow
You’ll begin by casting on sts and working the yoke in the round increasing on both sides of a center st that runs along the front, back, and sleeves. The centered increases create the distinctive chevron pattern. Once the yoke is complete, the work is divided, and the sleeve sts are placed on hold while the body continues in the round to desired length. The sides of the body are then worked flat, back and forth with sts cast off as instructed. Sleeves are completed in the same manner as the body. Finally, the neckline, sleeves, and hem are finished with an I-cord edging.
