A succession of circles cascade across the yoke of this sweater reminiscent of the moon rising over the horizon. The wrists of the sleeves echo the yoke pattern with little dots of color. The mood of this sweater could be bright and cheery or subtly sophisticated based on one’s color choices. This pullover is worked from the top down seamlessly and uses stranded colorwork for the yoke and sleeve decorations. Chest measurements range from 30-60”/75-150 cm. Optional instructions for waist shaping are included.
