This pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is shaped by using a modified version of the contiguous set-in sleeves method developed by Susie Myers. Starting with the cast-on of the saddle shoulders and the back, the yoke is worked back and forth with increases for the front(s), the back and the saddle(s), respectively sleeves and neck shaping until the neck shaping is complete. From there, the yoke is worked in rounds to sleeve and body separation. At underarm, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the underarm stitches are cast on using your preferred method. Then the body is worked in rounds to the hem. The folded neck finishing is worked next. Sleeve stitches are then picked up again to work the sleeves top down in rounds to the cuffs. A patch (made out of a contrast colored swatch) is embroidered with a fun (magic) text and sewn on last (after blocking).
