Yarn-over Pullover




VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL aquí

            The Yarn-over Pullover is made with a worsted weight yarn. Like the Oli Cardigan, it is a good project for beginner knitters that want to practice seamless knitting. It is done in the round, with a seamless raglan shape; perfect for working on tension and doing yarnovers.

Yoke:  With, US 4 needles, CO 72 stitches with any stretchy cast-on. You can choose either type of needle (although I used circular for this part of the sweater)

Row 1: k2tog, yo, *k1, p1*, repeat from * to end 

R2-4: k1, p1

R5: In this row you will divide the torso from the sleeves: k12, yo, pm, k1, pm, yo, k10, yo, pm, k1, pm, yo, k24, yo, pm, k1, pm, yo, k10, yo, pm, k1, pm, yo, k12 80 stitches

* You will continue increasing one stitch at each side of the raglan stitch (for a total of 8 stitches) in every odd row until row 27. By row 28 you should have 104 stitches

(this picture should have been taken after row 5, it shows up to row 9)

R12: p

R13: *k2tog, yo, k2*, repeat 4 times, yo, sm, k1, sm, yo, k to marker, yo, sm, k1, sm, yo, *k2tog, yo, k2*, repeat 8 times, yo, sm, k1, sm, yo, k to marker, yo, sm, k1, sm, yo, *k2tog, yo, k2*, repeat 4 times. 

R14: p

R15: k. At the end of this row, you will not turn to knit back and forth, as you have been doing. Instead, you will continue knitting in the round. You can place a marker between the first and the last stitch to keep track of them. 




*If your circular needles are too long, divide the stitches onto double pointed needles. This is what I did at this point.*  

R16: Knitting in the round: *p to raglan, k1*, repeat four times, p to end. 

*Remember to continue increasing 1 stitch at each side of the raglan line, on every odd row. The last row that you will increase will be 27, 104 stitches.

R26-27: k

R28: *p to raglan, k1*, repeat four times, p to end. (104 stitches)

R29: In this row, you will separate the torso from the sleeves by putting the sleeve stitches on standby. You will get rid of all markers except for the one signaling the beginning of round. K to marker, k raglan stitch, put 34 stitches on hold, yo2, k raglan stitch, k to marker, k raglan stitch, put 34 stitches on hold, yo2, k raglan stitch, k to marker. (104 stitches)

R30-33: k

*Tip for row 30: knitting the yarnovers at the armpit: change the direction from left-leaning (picture A) to right-leaning (B). I just do this manually (untwist then twist). Then, knit from the front side of the stitch (C). This will ensure that the stitch stays twisted so it can be knit.
