CONSTRUCTION
This sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, starting with a 2 x 2 Rib collar with a contrast rolled edge. The charted colourwork pattern then begins, with increases for the yoke. Body and sleeves are then separated, and the colourwork continues down the body to the 2 x 2 Rib hem. Sleeves are also worked in colourwork, and are shaped towards a 2 x 2 Rib cuff. Collar, hem and cuffs are all worked in CC.
