CONSTRUCTION
This colourwork sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. You can choose to work either a ribbed crew neck or a longer ribbed roll neck. After the collar, short rows are added at the back of the neck. The detailed colourwork yoke then begins, and graduates to a simpler colourwork pattern in the body and sleeves. There are two options given at the yoke for different yoke lengths. The sleeves are worked without shaping. The sweater has a loose shape and loose sleeves that go in slightly at the cuffs, which are finished with 1 x 1 Rib.
