Blomster is a top-down colourwork yoke pullover. It has 2 sets of short rows, the first one is right after the neckline and the second one is before splitting for sleeves. You start by working the neckline in ribbing, followed by first set short rows, yoke increases, then the colourwork chart and finally the second set of short rows. Next, sleeves are separated, and underarm stitches are cast on. The body is worked in stockinette until the hem where you switch to working colourwork then ribbing. The sleeves are then picked up and shaped with decreases until the colourwork and ribbed cuffs.
