Notes
The Sklar Pullover is knit in one piece from the top down, in the round, with a circular yoke. The yoke incorporates knit/purl texture, stranded colorwork, and cables. The body and sleeves are worked in a subtle texture pattern. The split turtleneck collar is picked up from the cast on edge to finish - but it can be left off altogether if you prefer, leaving a simple round neckline with a rolled edge.
Patterned yoke sections are charted only.
Tips
-Carefully check your gauge for the colorwork chart as well as Dot stitch. You may need to use a larger needle size for the colorwork
-As you would when working with any hand-dyed yarn, alternate skeins in solid sections for best results!
