Yanis

For pattern support please go to the questions thread [here][1]. **update 02/16: japanese translation now available** *Yanis* is worked seamlessly from the top down. First some short rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck and then the yoke is worked top down to sleeve separation. Some last short rows are worked to finish the yoke shaping right before sleeve stitches are placed on hold, then the cropped body is worked in rounds down to the contrast colored hem. Sleeves (short or long) are worked top down to the cuffs last.

Gauge 20 sts x 28 rows = 4" (10 cm) square in Stockinette stitch on larger needle after blocking. Due to variance between knitters, color work should be swatched to determine whether to change needle size to keep gauge consistent.
