This cute cropped sweater is worked seamlessly from top down using nine colors, making it a perfect project for the yarn you love but can’t choose just one color for.

The sweater begins at the neckline, which is shaped with German short rows. Once the raglan increases are complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the body is worked in the round to the hem. The sleeve stitches are then returned to the needles and the sleeves are worked in the round to the cuffs.
Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline for the neck ribbing, which is finished with a Tubular bind-off for a neat, stretchy edge.
The pattern includes photo tutorials for the German short row technique and the Tubular bind-off.
