Jaycee

Jaycee is a beautifully crafted top-down knitting pattern designed to be worked seamlessly, making it an accessible project for knitters of all skill levels. This pattern begins with short rows that delicately shape the back neck for added comfort and style. Following this, the round yoke is expertly constructed from the top down, leading to the separation of the sleeves. Just before placing the sleeve stitches on hold, additional short rows are worked to achieve the perfect yoke shaping. Once the yoke is complete, the body of the garment is knitted back and forth until reaching the hemline, creating an elegant finish. Afterward, button bands and neck finishing details are diligently worked to add a polished touch to your project. Finally, the sleeves are crafted in rounds from the top down to the cuffs, ensuring a cohesive and stylish finish throughout the design.
