It gives two alternatives for how to place the increase rounds in a seamless yoke raglan. Hers is knit bottom-up, but the placement of the increase rows would not change in a top-down.<BR/><BR/>The other thing she talks about -- and so did Meg Swanson in a class I took on the EZ percentage system (EPS) -- was that the short rows that will raise the neck should be at about the level of the bottom of the armhole, and that they need to extend from armhole to armhole or even a bit past. I did a child's sweater for the Dulaan project a couple years ago, before I had the EZ book or had taken the EPS class, and I put the short rows an inch or two below the back neckline. They made that part of the sweater bulge outward. Blocking helped, but did not eliminate, the bulge.<BR/><BR/>You may very well have solved all these problems yourself and be far past this point in your sweater, but I had to throw in my 2 cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-83867331337493674872008-09-13T16:05:00.000-07:002008-09-13T16:05:00.000-07:00That is why I am not a designer.

I want to make this sweater soooo badly now, and I'm hoping you can write out instructions for those of us without the know how!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post!Mary-Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13354782585342057432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-44325035421246374202008-09-12T15:36:00.000-07:002008-09-12T15:36:00.000-07:00I'm very interested in your thoughts on this sweat...I'm very interested in your thoughts on this sweater.

I love the "inspiration sweater" you are working from and am looking forward to your posts as you knit it.

I'm sure you'll get it just right. <BR/><BR/>Just another thought to ponder, not sure how it would come into play, if at all, considering you are doing a round yoke with raglan shaping later...but EZ says all the increases for a round yoke sweater should be made in the upper third of the yoke.<BR/><BR/>If not although the yoke will fit OK around the shoulders, upper arms and upper chest it will restrict movement at the top of arm.
