From the pattern - “The Circle of Life Sweater is a simple straight-up-and-down model with set-in sleeves. The sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up until the sleeve holes where you cast on steek sts in the armhole to continue knitting in the round. The sleeves are also knitted (in the round) from the bottom up….The inside facings and the borders at the bottom of the body, sleeves and the neckline are knitted with textured stitches and (smaller) needles.”

Kits are available on the website (www.christel-seyfarth.dk) in two colourways and four sizes. All yarn in relevant quantities of the six colours needed plus a printed pattern are included in the kit.
