Clue 1a: Increasing in ribbing
As you work across the neck you will need to increase in pattern. Carol's given a sample chart in the pattern notes to help you out and you can also use the video where she talks through the construction.
Clue 1b: Decreasing in ribbing
Decreasing in ribbing can also be tricky and again you’ll find a sample chart showing how this looks in chart form in the pattern notes. Check out the video where she'll walk you through it step-by-step.
Clue 2: Yarn management
After this side of the yoke is finished you’ll pick up stitches along the bottom for the lower yoke. At this point you might want to think about alternating skeins so that you don’t have problems with pooling from your hand-dyed yarn.
Clue 3a: Joining for body
This clue works on the body; initially you’ll join the body in the round and then work in the round from that point to the bottom.
Clue 3b: Alternating body skeins
While you are working in the round you’ll need to alternate skeins of yarns if you are using hand-dyed yarn. This video shows a great way of doing this using helical stripes.
Clue 4: Picking up sleeve stitches
We have now come to the final clue for the KAL: the sleeves. To work the sleeves you pick up the stitches on either side of the held stitches and work from the top down. The sleeve decreases continue on from the shoulder decreases in the same location.
Woohoo - you did it! You made the Mossy Way jumper and we're so excited for you! This luxurious piece will see you through many chilly morning walks, rainy afternoons at home, and crisp evenings by the beach.
