This sweater is worked top-down seamlessly. The sweater has a round yoke with a damask colorwork and a bit more colorwork on the hem. But the showstopper is the bigger pattern featured center front. The sweater has a folded mock turtleneck, long bishop sleeves, and a cropped hem with a slit. There are instructions for an optional bust dart.
