Paper copy of the OlaYoke by Ella Gordon,
This jumper is Ella's version of a traditional Shetland Yoke jumper, It uses raglan shaping before the yoke, a lower neckline and short row shaping to make it more modern. It has 5 contrast colors but the yoke would look equally striking in one shade.

GAUGE
Body and Sleeves:
28 sts and 40 rows to 10cm / 4” measured over blocked stocking stitch on 3mm needles
Yoke: 28 sts and 28 rows to 10cm/ 4” measured over blocked fair isle using 3.5mm needles.
NEEDLES & ACCESSORIES
2.5mm (UK 13-12 / US 1.5) circular needles or DPNs for working body, sleeves and neck rib
3mm (UK 11 / US 2.5) circular needles or DPNs for working body and sleeves
Optional: 3.5mm (UK 10-9 / US 4) circular needles
or DPNs for yoke – my Fair Isle knitting is quite tight so I choose to go up half a needle size for the yoke. You may not feel this is necessary but take time to check your gauge and adjust as necessary.
