Project #39 RYOKO
Ryoko is a fitted, circular yoke sweater. The yoke is provisionally cast-on & knit bottom-up to
better adjust for yoke height. The body with waist-shaping is knitted top-down to better adjust
its length.
The ease for the finished garments is ~0 (2, 0)” for sizes S (M, L). Sample garment shown in
size Small is knitted with 2 strands of sample yarns held together, with the resulting weight equal
to Aran/Worsted. When substituting yarn, it might be preferable to start with a single strand of
Aran/Worsted weight yarn.
