The body and sleeves of this pullover are knit in the round from the hems to the underarms. All three pieces are joined for the yoke, which is knit in one piece in the round, with short rows to shape the shoulders. Once the garment is complete, the underarms are grafted and the ships are added near the hems with duplicate stitch.

This garment is designed with a slightly shorter yoke and body to counteract the yarn's natural tendency to grow. If you plan to layer this piece over other garments, you may wish to add some length before starting the yoke chart, to give a little more wearing ease.

The colorwork pattern is offered in chart form, only.

If you like this pattern, you may also like the children's version found here. Save 20% when you buy both either individually or as a set.
