Bejeweled is inspired by my affinity for both vintage jewelry and classic design with a twist. The sweater is worked in the round from the top down, beginning with a provisional cast on before moving immediately on to the yoke. After the yoke is finished, stitches are divided for the armholes and body. Once the body is completed, the arms are worked from the remaining stitches. Finally, short rows are worked at the neckline before finishing.
