Practice stranded colorwork technique as you knit this showstopper. It is worked entirely in the round with steeks at the neckline and sleeve caps, with single purl stitches at the sides to give the appearance of seams.

This is not your typical Shetland ski sweater! Body-conscious waist shaping makes this piece flatter many body types. The diamond shading within the colorwork pattern lessens its stripey effect, and a deep scoop neckline draws attention upward. Perfect!
