This color work pullover is knit top-down with a modified drop shoulder and unique neck construction.

A classic fitting sweater with a design that only uses two colors at a time when knitting.

The work starts by knitting flat to shape the back, the drop shoulders will be picked-up and continued across the shoulder where the front yoke will be joined. Once the sleeve depth is reached, the work will be joined in the round and knit to the hem. Next, stitches will be picked up for the collar. Lastly, the stitches for the sleeves will be picked up and knit in the round.
