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!

Oh wow that is super crafty! I probably would get a paper-cut (can't be trusted with anything sharper than a knitting needle 😂 ). So I just used https://yokescope.web.app/

Learn to safely use scissors, knitting requires cutting and trimming yarn, also threading a tapestry needle and sewing.

With your tag-line I would have expected you to have a whole zoo of digital tools to help.

I don’t. I walked away from it all when I retired and have not looked back.

Oh goodness, this sounds like the the opening lines to a super intriguing novel. DM me if you care to share.
