4.5 sts, 6 rows = 1 inch in stockinet

Tension: 8 on an LK 150 in stockinet, or whatever is necessary to obtain gauge. Fairisle tension 8.5.

This yoke is made first, in four pieces, since many bulky machines do not have enough needles to knit a 2-piece yoke in larger sizes.

Even though there is no current KnitALong running on the Facebook group for this pattern, many members are still knitting it, and you will find help and encouragement there. The direct link to Machine Knitting Round Yokes is here. You do need to ask to join as a member and agree to the rules, which are simply no selling or self promotion, and post only about round yoke garments (any style of round yoke is OK).
