This pattern is available from etsy.me for $8.00.

Body and sleeves are worked separately bottom-up in the round then joined and the yoke is worked in the round. Charts are read from bottom to top and right to left. There are two body options: a short version without colorwork at the hem, and a tunic-length version with an edging design. The short version is straight (no waist shaping); the long version widens from the waist to the hips.
