KITSUNE OMOI V( neck version) is a hybrid raglan and circular yoke construction knit from the top

down in the round, with a steep v neckline, then steeked.As in thethe original version, the steek once cut, folds back to be cleverly tucked away behind knit-on facings. The button band then serves double duty by fastening down the interior facings, and anchoring the steek. The body is worked straight from the bust with no shaping, but to keep things interesting there are inset welt pockets, knit in-line with the body by means of double knitting. The welts are knit first and used to start the double knitting section, and are later sewn down along the edges.

This version is designed to have a looser, easy fit, with the hem stopping at the high hip. It features a narrower button band with afterthought buttonholes. Though this is by no means a difficult or complex knit, this version would be better suited to an intermediate knitter or a very intrepid advanced beginner.

Techniques used include: steeking,strandedknitting,doubleknitting,germanshortrows,sewnand three needle bind off, and some very rudimentary sewing (whipstitch for the afterthought buttonholes)

The yarn is held double throughout; the seamless colour changes are made by marling, ie changing the colours of the held-together strands on each row.
