CONSTRUCTION
The Candytuft Pullover is a top-down, circular yoke sweater knit seamlessly throughout.

Candytuft begins with the yoke including set-up increasing and short rows around the collar. The yoke colorwork chart is worked next with additional increases incorporated into the chart. Once the body and sleeves are separated, the straight body and tapered sleeves are finished in stockinette and 1x1 ribbing on the waistband and sleeve cuffs. The last step is to pick up stitches for a double-lined ribbed neckline and finish with a 3-needle bind off.

This sweater is intended to have 4 in. / 10 cm of positive ease in the body and 3-4 in. / 7.6 - 10 cm of positive ease in the upper arm.

Measurements are based on the standards and guidelines of the Craft Yarn Council.
