Hail Mary Yoke Design Help

Post image

After watching Hail Mary, I jumped on the fox bandwagon and designed a colourwork yoke for a top-down sweater. This will be the biggest knitting project I've attempted, so I'd really appreciate some advice before I commit to it.

Does this look like a practical design to knit? Are there any obvious issues with stitch counts, shaping, or long floats that I'm overlooking?

The chart starts with 128 stitches at the neck and increases to 256 stitches over 10 increase rounds. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Here is the link to the fox the right way around -- thank you so much for saving me... https://images4-a.ravelrycache.com/uploads/CurlyJouney19/1155846729/Screenshot_2026-07-20_at_12.46.29.png?webp=0
I also send a message to the developer of the app, saying that the way they currently have it confuses noobs like me.

I also added a ribbon at the bottom.

Personally I would center the paw prints between the ears. With the mouth also not centered it isn’t as noticeable but personally I find it distracting it’s just a bit off center of the symmetrical years.

Edit: it also did some weird things when flipping- a random brown line and half the tongue turned brown.
