NOTES
Sweater is worked in a “reverse jacquard” technique - that is, the color not in use is stranded across the purl side of the fabric, but this is the “right” or public side of the garment. The knitting is the same as for other stranded or Fair Isle patterns; the only difference is that great care must be taken to keep the strands parallel on the purl side of the work, without twisting; the CC should be carried above the background color.

Body is worked sideways in one piece starting at left front edge.
