Six contrast colors are used in the rose and leaves patterned yoke of this boat necked pullover, with drop shoulders and long sleeves. Nancy mentions the spit splice in the notes for this pattern, perhaps the first time it had been seen in print in the US.

Small amounts needed of six colors (pink, purple, dark green, lt. green, lavender and wine) plus 5-6 170 yd. skeins of natural white #6.
