This pattern is based on a traditional Lopi-style sweater with the body and sleeves worked in the round from the bottom up. The underarm stitches are then placed on stitch holders, and all remaining stitches are joined to create one circular yoke. The yoke is worked in a two-colour garter stitch design using two circular needles to avoid stretching the underarm sts. The flower stitches add a pretty detail and are easy to work, but take care to work the second and third petals into the same place as the first.
