Wild Joy by Samantha Guerin Designs | Knit from the top down in the round, Wild Joy features a gender neutral, relaxed fit. The yoke is cast on and short rows are worked to raise the back of the beck for a comfortable fit. The colorwork yoke is knit, then the body and sleeves are separated and worked from the top down. The only finishing is to pick up the stitches at the neck and work the neckline.
