Pattern Notes:
This pattern is knitted bottom up, sewing on the sleeves separately. You’ll be knitting in the round until the underarm area (some colorwork is done in the round), then working flat to form the arm hole and collar. Each size has its own chart for the body and the sleeves. The front and back use the same chart and the sleeves each have a chart that is interchangeable. All charts are included at the end of this pattern. Once the 3 pieces are finished you’ll seam them together then pick up stitches to add the collar.
A 16-inch circular needle may be used in place of the dpns when there are sufficient sts to fit around it.

Quick note about yarn
I used hand dyed yarn so I had to alternate 2 MC skeins every row to keep the color uniform. The sleeves and the CC areas were small enough to finish without alternating between 2 skeins.

Sizing Guide:
The measurements listed are the measurements of the finished sweater. I suggest you add at least 2 inches to your chest circumference when choosing a size. So if you measure 50” around then knit the 52”, or if you measure 51” then knit 54”. Adding more space for your stranded colorwork to “breathe” is always a good idea.
