This pullover is a great introduction to stranded knitting. The colorwork is done after all body and sleeve shaping is complete, so you only have to keep track of the color pattern. Slightly cropped, hitting at the high hip, this is a great piece to layer over tunics and dresses or wear on its own with jeans.
This simultaneous set-in sleeve pullover is worked from the top down in one piece. You will begin by working the back and then picking up and knitting the right and then left front. Next, you will pick up and knit stitches along each edge of the piece and these will be the sleeves. The sleeves and body will then be worked in one piece in the round, similar to a top-down raglan.
Once the body is complete the sleeves are worked in the round. Finally, the neckband is picked up and worked in the round. The color pattern is chart only. The shaping for the Yoke is also included in an easy to track table by size, laying out all the increases for each row/round. To make the pattern easier to read, the size range is split into two pdfs.
