Product Information

Full disclosure, this is not a technique I have experience of in this context but I know it is commonly used in knitting and some crochet designers use in yoke sweaters too. So I would be remiss to ignore it (even if I can only give you generic guidance). A round yoke garment is created by making a circular or oval piece with a hole in the centre for the head.

Using this method, you will end up with a line of yarn running through the yoke seam. The running stitch marker. Of course, this will depend on the design you’re working, but placing stitch markers in the stitch where the next increase will go is a good way to avoid missing the spot.

The type of ‘2 together’ stitch will depend on the actual stitch used in the specific pattern you’re working. From a designer’s perspective, this means that you are much more restricted in how you place your increases with a raglan construction compared to how you place them in a round yoke. Though there is obviously variation depending on the stitch pattern you’re using too.

If you are more interested in crocheting than counting, note that it’s easier to make up a couple of stitches here or there on a round yoke than a raglan design. This technique can be a bit fiddly to work the first time, but once you have a good visual on which stitches are which, it becomes a lot simpler.I can’t emphasises enough that you should keep an eye on your stitch count. It’s so obvious, but such an easy step to skip First off, if you know that counting chains isn’t your strong point, add a stitch marker to the first and last underarm chain when you make them. Remember that one of the great things about making top down garments is that you can adjust them as you go.
