Construction:
The sweater is made seamlessly, from the top down. The yoke, body and sleeves are worked in the round. The neckline is shaped with short rows. After dividing for body and sleeves, each part is worked separately, from the top down.
Short sleeves and a fairly thin yarn give the design a light and summery feel.
The yoke is decorated with colorwork floral elements.
Note: Since this is a rather advanced and irregular pattern, carefully read the instructions in the box before you begin. Pay close attention to the notes provided to avoid any difficulties when knitting this section.
