Fuwa is a light, very soft top-down saddle shoulder contiguous pullover featuring floral inspired colourwork on the body and corrugated ribbing for both cuffs. You’ll start by shaping the neckline and shoulders with increases. As you progress, you’ll add more increases for the sleeves, front, and back, allowing you to adjust the upper arm circumference to fit just right. Once the sleeves are separated, stitches are cast on under the arms and the body is knitted straight down to the split ribbed hem while working the colourwork chart. Finally, the sleeves are picked up and knitted in stockinette and shaped with gradual decreases until the corrugated ribbed cuffs which alternates 2 of the contrast colours along with MC
