Yana lite

Yana Lite is a beautifully designed knitting pattern that is crafted seamlessly from the top down. This innovative approach begins with a careful cast-on at the shoulders, allowing for an elegant and fluid construction. The use of short rows effectively shapes the shoulders, after which each part is seamlessly joined to form the back section, extending elegantly down to the underarm. Once you reach this point, stitches are picked up at the shoulders to work on each front section, furthering the design’s cohesiveness. The work is then skillfully joined at the underarm, enabling you to knit in the round all the way to the stylish split hem, which features convenient set-in pockets. The sleeves are designed with attention to detail; stitches are picked up around each armhole, allowing the sleeves to be worked from the top down in the round until you reach the cuffs, which are accentuated with 1x1 rib panels for an added touch of sophistication. The final finishing touch to this garment is the cowl neck, which is worked last to complete the overall look.
