Fabric shrinks lengthwise, so measure gauge after washing and drying flat. It also stretches out again when worn, and so you might like to knit a smaller size than usual.

This pattern is very long, written in tutorial style, and is the one we have been using for KnitaLongs on the Facebook group, Machine Knitting Round Yokes.Please download the pattern PDF here.*

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.
