Mytilus

This seamless yoke sweater is knit from the neckline down to the hip. The slip stitch pattern at the yoke and at the wrists features mussel shells or mytilus.

All other techniques are explained in an illustrated appendix (provisional cast-on, make one right, make one left, make one left in the purl version, knit two together, slip-slip-knit, short rows, bind off stitches knitwise, overcast stitches).
