Comments on: How to Chart a Yoke: Heck, a whole pattern! http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/368 Used to be about knitting; now about about dieting.

I don't make this adjustment on this particular cape / yoke because the person who asked wanted a cape that was easier to knit, and didn't want to do the short rows. That's what some knitters prefer. I do add short rows on other capes, like the red one I am modeling. That's what other knitters including me, prefer. I agree short rows behind the neck improves fit and drape.

Seen from the top, the human neck is not centered on the human torso, it is an inch or 2 back of center. The cape will balance better if this adjustment is made. Typically, the fix is an inch, inch-and-a-half of shortrows just after the neckband, but before the yoke gets too big. Improves fit and drape.
