Intermediate stranded colorwork, short row shaping.
Gleninagh
$8.00
Gleninagh is worked in the round from the bottom up. After the sleeves and body are complete, the pieces are joined to work the yoke. Raglan decreases shape the yoke, then short rows are worked to raise the back neck. Stranded colorwork with integrated decreases is knit from a series of charts, and then a ribbed crewneck completes the sweater.

When working the yoke, you may want to change to an even longer circular if the stitches do not fit comfortably on your chosen needle.
Regarding the yardage requirements: Cricket comes in an ample 100 gram / 415 yard skein. The yardage requirements for the contrast colors do not use all of the full skeins.
