Notes
• This pullover is worked in the one piece from the top down with yoke shaping.
• Due to significant variance between knitters, I recommend colorwork swatching in advance to determine whether or not the needle size for colorwork should be larger, smaller or equal to needle size, used for main fabric (US 4/3.5 mm). It is helpful to make a few rows in plain stockinette and at least 20 rows in colorwork.
