Describtion

Pretty in Pig Pullover is a unisex, top-down pullover available in ten different adult sizes. It offers long or elbow length sleeves options.
This sweater is knitted in one piece with increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked at the top of the yoke to raise the back neck for a better fit.

The sweater is knit with mostly two colors at a time but for several rows you’ll need to work with three strands held together.
There are also areas in the yoke where the floats between colors become quite long. Long floats may be trapped by traditional trapping method or ladderback jacquard method (on the chart, I’ve marked the sections where I suggest working ladderback jacquard).
