Description
CONSTRUCTION This circular yoke pullover uses one main colour of fingering weight yarn along with two contrast colours, worked top-down and seamlessly in the round. This sweater fits loose at the neck, snug at the bust and waist, loose at the armholes and sleeves, and snug at the cuffs. The neckline is cast on and worked in rolled edging and then ribbing, short rows are added, and the yoke is increased through wedges using the colourwork chart. Additional short rows are worked before the garment is separated into body and sleeves. The sleeves and body are worked in the round, and finished with a colourwork forearm prior to the cuff.
