The blocky colorwork motif in this round-yoke pullover is so interesting! We love the two-color purls that pop out and give a little bit of texture. Five colors in the yoke means an awful lot of options in playing with color in an otherwise simple bottom-up sweater. The sleeves are added at the underarm with a provisional cast on, then the yoke continues to the neck opening with a little bit of short row shaping to raise the neck a bit. Sleeves are picked up from the provisional cast on and worked in the round to the cuffs.

This pattern is #sizeinclusive. Finished measurements will fit bust circumferences up to at least 60” / 152.5 cm plus any intended ease. Shown in size 39” / 99 cm on a 31” / 79 cm, 5’11” / 180 cm model (8” / 20.5 cm] positive ease).
