The sweater is worked top-down with a V-neck. A stranded colorwork pattern is worked on the lower body and the lower sleeves. First, the back is worked flat with increases. Then stitches are picked up along the left and right sides of the back to work the front. The left and right fronts are worked separately back and forth with increases to form the V-neck. The front and back are then joined, and the body is worked in the round in stranded colorwork. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are worked in the round with decreases before the colorwork section. Both sleeves and body are finished with a double rib hem.
