You start by working the collar in a dedicated collar stitch pattern before increasing into the textured Armor stitch pattern for the yoke. Once the yoke is complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, underarm stitches are cast on, and you continue to work the body in the round to the bottom hem. Afterward, you pick up the sleeve stitches again to work the sleeves top-down in the round. The pattern features no short rows at the neck, making it an excellent and straightforward project even for ambitious beginners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Perfect ITO Yarn Combination for Textured Stitch Definition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo make the gorgeous relief pattern of the \"ARMOR sweater\" stand out beautifully, we highly recommend holding two of our premium ITO yarns together:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eITO So Kosho:\u003c\/b\u003e Our soft yarn made of 90% mulesing-free merino wool and 10% luxurious cashmere.
