This sweater is inspired by a love of dinosaurs! A pack of adorable velociraptors circle the yoke, and dino tracks ring the neck and the hem.

The sweater is worked top-down, in the round, starting at the neck. Sleeves are placed on hold, and picked up after the body is complete, also in the round.

All colorwork includes charts as well as written out instructions, found after each chart. The main yoke chart includes 2 variants; one that is simply the colors, and one that includes instructions on where and how to place a ladderback to help manage the long floats.
