Big Stitch Sweater is a top-down circular yoke sweater that features my most popular colorwork pattern,
giant loops of knit stitches. Here I modified it by adding “live stitches” as the top round, the colorwork “big
stitches” that get larger toward the chest and stretch in last rounds, so you can see the strands of “yarn”
between the “big stitches”. See my Big Stitch Beanie that started this series of patterns two years ago.
