About:
The Apple & Eve Sweater is knit entirely in the round, from the top down. Stranded colour-work appears around the yoke and on the asymmetrical snake cuffs on each sleeve. Colourwork charts are used for the apples on the yoke and snakes on the sleeves.

The Jacquare Ladder method is strongly recommended to secure the long floats in the most invisible way, but the ‘catching’ method can also be used. The pattern includes detailed instructions (and charts) for the Ladder method, along with a link to the tutorial video that covers both the technique and how to use it to knit the snakes around the arms.
