This easy to wear, sweatshirt-like pullover is my congratulations to the new born lys-owners Yarn over Berlin, Marion and Steffi, for the long journey they took to finally make their dream come true.

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top-down. Start working the collar and then cast on stitches for the shoulders to work the back with the colorwork from the chart for the length of the armhole. Pick up the shoulder sts and shape the front neck with short rows. Work the front with the colorwork from the chart for the length of the armhole. Join the body to work in rounds down to the bottom ribbing. Pick up the sleeves sts to work the sleeves in rounds.

A special thanks to Sarah, for the kind permission to use the wonderful sts pattern from her Football Mosaic Scarf and to bowie (Christina), I first thought she designed it … it’s a long story, but I am a big fan of linking your “inspirations” :))
