Zora

*Zora is the third design I have made with Fior di Lino. Needless to say, I love this yarn!* *After the two-color [Heimathafen][1] sweater and the [Fiorellino][2] tee with its lovely textured yoke, I wanted to give Fior di Lino the chance to really shine this time. In the Zora pullover, worked mainly in stockinette stitch, the beautiful yarn blend absolutetely comes to the fore. However, I felt it needed a little something extra: so I went with folded hem, cuffs and v-neck finishing with a delicate textured pattern that stands out from the rest of the sweater.* For **pattern support**, please find the questions thread [here][3] *Zora* is worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is shaped by using a modified version of the contiguous set-in sleeves method developed by Susie Myers. Starting with the cast-on of the saddle shoulders and the back, the yoke is worked back and forth with increases for the front(s), the back and the saddle(s), respectively sleeves and V-neck until the V-neck shaping is complete. From there, the yoke is worked in rounds to sleeve and body separation. At underarm, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the underarm stitches are cast on using your preferred method. Then the body is worked in rounds to the folded hem. The folded V-neck finishing is worked next. Sleeve stitches are then picked up again to work the sleeves top down in rounds to the folded cuffs. **Modification notes** The body and the sleeves can be lengthened or shortened by working more or less rounds/rows before starting the hem/cuffs. Body and sleeve circumferences can be adjusted by adding or reducing the number of stitches of the underarm cast-on. **Yarn** mYak Fior di Lino 50% Tibetan Cloud Wool, 35% Baby Yak, 15% Italian Linen \[218 yds (200 m)/50 g] ;*shown in color FOX* approximately 985 (1083, 1160, 1236, 1302)(1400, 1510, 1586, 1707) yds 900 (990, 1060, 1130, 1190)(1280, 1380, 1450, 1560) m **Needles** US 4 (3.5 mm) 32" (80 cm) circular needle and DPNs (or preferred needle to work small circumferences) for body and sleeves.
