The upper part of the yoke uses a beautiful combination of increases that highlights the shoulders. First some short rows are worked back and forth to shape the neck. Then the yoke is worked in rounds to the final shoulder width. Front and back are worked separately (back and forth) to the underarm. At underarm, front and back are joined to work the tapered body top down in rounds to the short row shaping and garter stitch hem. For an optional armhole finishing, stitches are picked up around the arm openings to work a matching garter stitch edge. Neck is left raw. **Yarn** Holst Garn COAST, 45% merino, 55% cotton \[383 yds (350 m)/50 g] **held together with** Wollen Berlin LINO MUKA, 100% linen \[268 yds (245 m)/50g] Color combinations are “endless” – the sample shows Holst Garn Coast in color Begonia combined with Wollen Berlin Lino Muka in color Coral Approximately 865 (952, 1009, 1093, 1182)(1258, 1368, 1431, 1492) yds/ 790 (870, 922, 999, 1080)(1150, 1250, 1308, 1364) m **of each yarn** **Both yarns are held together throughout** (they could be replaced by a heavier weight yarn held single). **Needles** US 4 (3.5 mm) 16" (40 cm) and 32" (80 cm) circular needle for yoke and body.
