Description

CONSTRUCTION
The sweater is worked in the round from the top down, starting with the colorwork yoke. After the colorwork motif is completed, short rows are used to raise the back and improve the fit at the neckline. The yoke is finished with a few raglan rounds before separating for body and sleeves.
The body is worked in the round with a few extra (optional) short rows right above the hem, for those who prefer a slightly lower back. Sleeves are also worked in the round with decreases. The pattern also provides some helpful tips on how to adjust it to suit your own preferences.
