PATTERN NOTES
This pullover is knit seamlessly from the top down starting with a turned neckband. After the yoke is worked, stitches for the sleeves are set aside and the body is worked in the round. The sleeves are then worked in the round from the held stitches with colorwork incorporated into them.

This pattern uses the stranded method for colorwork. There are several instances in which you must carry one color across long distances. Be sure to trap your floats every 4-5 stitches to prevent puckering in the fabric. Please note that the stranded colorwork motif is charted only. Change colors as indicated on charts.

Sizes Medium, 2X and 5X are written to make the most of 3, 4, and 6 skeins of color A, respectively, You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece or purchase an additional skein as insurance.
