Yellow Brick Rodeo

Whether it's your first rodeo (for a top-down yoked sweater) or not, this quick knit is an **amazing way to let a variegated colorway shine**! The spiraling zigzag pattern uses only one strand of yarn on any given round—no stranding—and is worked by simply slipping a stitch here and there. The not-too-cropped bodice is in relaxing stockinette stitch (no purling!) and is easily lengthened if you prefer. This one knits up fast. Plus, the yoke pattern is **both charted and written out line by line**, so you've got this! **Gauge:** 24 sts & 36 rows/4” (post-blocking) in slip stitch pattern and 24 sts & 32 rows/4” in stockinette stitch (post-blocking). My pre-blocking gauges were the same as post-blocking, but yours may vary. Please note that I needed a size 5 needle for the slip stitch yoke but went down to a size 4 needle for the stockinette in order to maintain gauge--you may or may not need to do this depending on how you knit. **Materials:** 2(2, 2, 2, 2, **3, 3, 3, 3,** 3, 4, 4) skeins of the Main Color (MC) in Hedgehog Sock (437yds/100 g, shown in Pollen) AND 1(1, 1, 1, 1, **1, 1, 1, 1,** 1, 2, 2) skeins of the Contrasting Color (CC) in Miss Babs Yummy 2-Ply (400yds/110 g, shown in Zombie Prom), or approximately: 590(620, 640, 670, 765, **875, 935, 1000, 1100,** 1225, 1315, 1380) yds of the MC, and 145(150, 160, 165, 170, **180, 260, 275, 300**, 385, 410, 425) yds of the CC. #sizeinclusive **Choosing a Size:** The pullover is designed to be worn with 1-3” of positive ease at the bust (meaning, the sweater should be 1-3” bigger than your actual bust measurement). Note that the model in the photo measures to a 34” bust and is wearing size 35”. Be aware that if you wish to lengthen the bodice or sleeves, you will need more yarn than is listed in the materials.
