The yoke is shaped first by working short rows at the back for a better fit around the neckline, then with raglan style decreases, followed by a colour work chart incorporating decreases. Change to a shorter circular needle or use the magic loop method when necessary as the yoke is decreased to neckline. The sleeves can be worked using the magic loop method, DPNs, or a short circular needle for the larger sizes. Plotulopi yarn is fragile and should be handled gently and worked with a loose tension. However, once knitted it creates a lightweight, warm and strong fabric. It is recommended that yarn is worked from the plate centre, and care is taken to ensure it can be pulled freely. If yarn does tear while working with it, simply overlap ends and roll in hands to rejoin. Because of Plotulopi’s fragility, underarms are bound off and then seamed rather than grafted. When working the stranded colour work, keep floats in the back loose to maintain fabric elasticity. This design has some very long floats! It is recommended to twist yarns together in back of work for floats longer than about 5 stitches. **Yarn** Worsted weight yarn (MC) 約770 (860, 970, 1030, 1150, 1215, 1310) yards / 705 (785, 885, 940, 1055, 1110, 1200) m (CC) 約165 (185, 210, 220, 245, 260, 285) yards / 150, 170, 190, 205, 225, 240, 260) m Istex Plotulopi (100% wool; 328 yards / 300 m, 100g) サンプル色は (MC) 0003 Light Beige Heather 3 (3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4)個, (CC) 1430 Carmine Red Heather 1個 **Needles** 1 x US 6 (4.0 mm), 80 cm(またはそれ以上の長さ)の輪針 1 x US 6 (4.0 mm), 40 cmの輪針 (好みで4本棒針, マジックループを用いて も良い) 1 x US 4 (3.5 mm), 40 cmの輪針 (好みで4本棒針, マジックループを用いて も良い) 1 x US 4 (3.5 mm), 80 cm(またはそれ以上の長さ)の輪針 または, ゲージが取れる太さの針 **Gauge** (ブロッキング後) US 6 (4.0 mm)の針を使用し, メリヤス編みで19目 & 26段 = 10 cm US 4 (3.5 mm)の針を使用し, 2x2リブで21目& 34段 = 10 cm **Sizes** 出来上がり寸法: 胸囲 XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL) = 96 (105, 113, 126, 135, 147, 156) cm Sサイズのサンプルを身長154 cmのモデルが余裕25cmで着用 **Tools** 目数マーカー (4), とじ針, 別糸 Skill Level ●●● **Note** Plotulopi1本どりで裾から輪で編むセーター . 身頃と袖を脇で繋げた後, ヨー クは引き返し編みで前下がりを作り, ラグラン線で減目し, さらに編み込み模 様を編みながら減目を続ける. ヨークの目数が少なくなったら短い輪針やマ ジックループに替えると良い. 袖はマジックループ, 4本棒針, 大きいサイズで は短い輪針で編んでも良い. Plotulopiはすぐに切れるので, 引っ張らないように気をつけながら編まない といけない. しかし, 一度編んでしまうと軽くて温かく, 強度のある編み地にな る. ディスク状の中心から使うようにし, ストレスなく引き出せるように気をつ けること. 糸が切れてしまっても糸端を合わせて手のひらの上に乗せ, 手のひ らをすり合わせるとつながる. 糸が切れやすいため, 脇は目を伏せてから後で 綴じること. 編み込み模様を編む際は, 編み地の伸縮性を失わないように使わない糸は裏 で緩めに渡しておくこと. 糸が5目以上に渡る場合は裏側で編み包むこと.
