Short Overview

The Sleeping Fox Pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down using a circular yoke construction, allowing for effortless try-ons and easy customization of body and sleeve length.
Subtle short-row shaping at the upper yoke gently raises the back neckline, enhancing both comfort and fit.
The pattern is written for 10 adult sizes, offering flexibility in choosing your preferred ease — from a closer, more tailored fit to a generously oversized look.
The sweater is knit with only two colors at a time, making it easier to knit. Additional colors can be added later using the duplicate stitch technique. If preferred, the colorwork can be carried throughout the entire sweater, though this approach may require managing three colors at once.

This sweater is designed to be worn with approximately 2-8 in /5-20 cm of positive ease; however, this is just a guide. Some people prefer a closer fit; do not be afraid to select an option that provides somewhat less than the suggested ease according to your own preferences.
