Dragonflies trapped in time circle the yoke of this pullover sweater. Knit with two different hand-dyed fingering weight yarns, this design offers a fitted silhouette with just a touch of contrast color at the hem, cuffs, and neck. This pullover is worked in the round from the bottom up with short row shaping at the upper back for a good fit. Sleeves are worked separately and attached at the yoke. The elaborate dragonfly yoke design is worked in the round with carefully constructed decreases for shaping. A simple rib knit finishes off the neck.
