Knit from the top down, the circular yoke has bands of simple but stunning stripes with tiny bobbles. This motif is repeated at the bottom of the sweater as well as at the cuffs.

The sweater is worked seamlessly and in the round from the top down. Short rows raise the back neck; then the color work yoke is worked. The sleeves and body are separated and worked from top to bottom.

The instructions are written. Working from the top down allows you to try on the sweater at several different points of construction and modify the body length and/or the sleeve length for a custom fit; these points are noted in the directions.
