Pattern notes
This circular yoke pullover is knitted from the bottom up, all in one piece. The body is made first, followed by the sleeves, before they are joined together for seamless working in the round. After a short section of raglan shaping, the circular yoke is worked from a chart by turning the work inside-out and knitting the colourwork from the wrong side. The yoke chart is read from right to left throughout.
