Tresse

For pattern support, please find the questions thread [here][1] *Tresse* is worked seamlessly from the top down. First the yoke is worked back and forth, with additional increases towards the front to shape the neckline. Once the final neck CO is made, the front pattern is set up and the yoke is worked in rounds with raglan increases to sleeve separation, where sleeve stitches are put on hold. From this point the body is worked in rounds top down to the split hem. Neck finishing is worked next. Then sleeve stitches are picked up again to work the sleeves in rounds top down to the cuffs. The front pattern is charted and written out (line by line). **Yarn** Biches & Bûches Le Petit Lambswool (271 yds (248 m)/50 g) shown in color LIGHT GREY **held together with** Biches & Bûches Le Petit Silk & Mohair (232 yds (212 m)/25 g) shown in color GREY BEIGE approximately 963 (1045, 1133, 1237, 1357)(1455, 1567, 1694, 1823) yds/ 880 (955, 1036, 1131, 1240)(1330, 1432, 1548, 1666) m **of each yarn** **Both yarns are held together throughout** (they could be replaced by one DK to worsted weight yarn held single). **Needles** US 6 (4 mm) 16 " (40 cm) and 32" (80 cm) circular needle and DPNs (or longer circular needle for magic loop) for neck, body and sleeve ribbing.
