he summary –
for the shoulder: for every row, increase either side of two centre stitches, for each shoulder (4 increases every row)
for sleeve cap: increase every row, on the sleeve side of markers. (4 increases every row)
for stopping the neck rising too high: increases along the back neck (2, 3 or 4 every second row for 6 - 8 rows)
In more detail:
This is the method, not a pattern. You still have to do shaping for front neck openings, joining up to knit in the round when you’re ready to, separating sleeves from body, etc
The back neck increases are not written in, as their placement is variable, depending on whether you do 2, 3 or 4.
pm = place marker
sm = slip marker
& = unspecified/unknown number of stitches (depends on you)
Use the cast-on of your choice. I use a knitted cast-on most of the time. You may wish to do the back neck sts as a provisional cast-on if your pattern has ”pick-up sts” for a collar.
Cast on stitches for back neck (work this out as distance x gauge)
Cast on 6 more sts.
Row 1: k1, pm, k2, pm, k to last three sts, pm, k2, pm, k1
Row 2: pfb~, sm, p2, sm, pfb, purl to 1 st before marker, pfb, sm, p2, sm, pfb
Row 3: k1, kfb~, sm, k2, sm, kfb, k to 1 st before marker, kfb, sm, k2, sm, kfb, k1
~ = or any increase of your choice
continue in this manner, doing an increase either side of the marker EVERY row, until the ”seam” is the length of your shoulder.
You can work out how many rows you may need to do for this shoulder seam by distance x row gauge. The type of increase you use may cause this seam to tighten a bit, so you may need to do a couple more rows; or, remember to do the increases + centre sts loosely.
That’s the shoulder part done. It forms a good slope for shoulders without having to do short rows
For the sleeve:
Now move the markers so there are 6 sts between markers. These are now the top of the sleeve cap. You will be increasing ONLY between the markers which mark off the sleeve stitches.
Next Row: K&, sm, kfb, k4, kfb,(8 sts), sm, k&, sm, , kfb, k4, kfb, (8 sts), sm, k&
Next Row: P&, sm, pfb, p6, pfb (10 sts), sm, p&, sm, pfb, p6, pfb (10 sts), sm, p&
Next Row: K&, sm, kfb, k8, kfb (12 sts), sm, k&, sm, kfb, k8, kfb (12 sts), sm, k&
etc.
continue in this manner for several rows, increasing EVERY row, on the sleeve side only of the markers.
Do this for only a few rows!
Do NOT do this for the whole armscye!
My guess is this would only need to be done for the same distance down as BW’s short rows to shape the sleeve cap (approx one-sixth of the armhole depth, either side of the shoulder seam, as measured down from that shoulder seam)
Then do the increases every second row (knit row)
and continue all the rest of the pattern elements too, just as you would for a BW top-down design.
If you use the method to knit or develop a garment, or write a pattern, would you please include the following acknowledgement:
This garment is worked seamlessly from the top-down using the contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers
