The purl code

the purl code is worked seamlessly in rounds from the top down. First some short rows are worked back and forth to shape the neck. Raglan increases are then worked to final yoke depth (yoke is designed to be rather deep in relation to what you may be used to), where sleeve stitches are placed on hold. From this point the oversized body is worked in rounds to the hem. Sleeve stitches are picked up again to work the sleeves in rounds top down to the cuffs. Optional neck finishing is worked last. Purl stitch lines are added every now and then throughout (add purl stitches where you like/when you like/as many as you like) …you may like the idea of using the morse code alphabet (see ‘purl code alphabet’ on the last page) for making this a statement sweater ;) . _ . . _ _ _ … _ . _ . _ _ _ _ _ . . _
