Construction notes: The Cholita sweater is a round yoke colorwork pullover, which is knit seamlessly top-down. First the neck is cast on and formed using Short Rows. After completing the yoke, the sleeves are separated from the body and finished with colorwork around the wrist and twisted ribbing. Around the garment, a repeating graphic colorwork pattern that reflects abstract mountains and valleys is worked.
