European yoke - shown on the body

In this DROPS video we give you a quick overview of how a garment where the yoke has European yoke sits on the body, and where the increase lines are positioned.

SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked top down without the need for assembly.

BACK PIECE:
Start by casting on stitches for the back of the neck. Then work the back piece back and forth, top down, while increasing stitches on each side until the shoulder stitch-count has been achieved. The back piece has slightly diagonal shoulders. The back piece now waits while the front piece is worked.

FRONT PIECE:
The front piece is worked in 2 sections (each side of the neck). Start by knitting up stitches along one back shoulder, working downwards and increasing for the neckline. Repeat on the other shoulder.

YOKE:
Stitches are knitted up outermost along each shoulder for the sleeves at the same time as placing the front and back pieces on the same circular needle and the yoke is continued in the round/back and forth.

INCREASES FOR NECKLINE, BODY AND SLEEVES:
At the same time as the yoke is worked, stitches are increased for the neckline, sleeves and body.

BODY AND SLEEVES:
When the increases are finished and the yoke has reached the correct measurements, it is divided for the body and sleeves. The body and sleeves are finished separately, top down.
Stitches are knitted up around the neckline to finish.
