It never ceases to amaze me how an old dog can always learn new tricks: I’m very impressed with 2 links provided in this pattern; one showing how to long-tail cast on in ribbing; the other, how to join colours more smoothly in intarsia . I have used both with great effect!

Mods: I know this design is for a cropped boxy pullover, but it has to be a little bit longer in the body for me: I’ve knitted for 8” before starting with the contrast colour. Sleeves: I’ve sewn the side seams to 6.25” from the top, picked up 72 sts for each sleeve. I’ve knitted for 3”, then worked the decreases for the 3rd size.

4.7: finally finished… it’s taken me a while to get around to the seaming, largely because I’ve been ill, and lying flat out on the sofa has been my preferred position . Anyway, it’s done and I wore it for 30 seconds for the photos before heatstroke set in, lol… I do like it, casual look and comfortable to wear.
