From pattern description:


“Girl’s yoke pullover made circularly with corrugated ribs and spiral yoke.”

From Vogue Knitting, Fall 2003:


“Meg Swansen designed this pullover to illustrate the use of short rows to shape a yoke and create a spiral color pattern. Worked in ‘Canadian Regal/Schoolhouse Press’ wool yarn. For instructions, see page 132. Pattern from the book Handknitting with Meg Swansen (Schoolhouse Press, 1995).”
