The Pheasant Pullover is worked from the top down in the round. The neck is shaped with short rows. The stranded color work pattern is charted.

The body as shown is boxy and slightly cropped to wear layered over tunics and dresses however the fit is relaxed and if you prefer a more traditional unisex fit consider adding additional length to the body- the yardage estimate should accommodate an additional inch or so of length in in the body but if you plan to add more then that please purchase additional yarn.
