PATTERN NOTES
Some Berries is a slightly cropped, loose-fit sweater with a circular yoke that features colorwork inspired by berries in the garden. This pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down, starting with a provisional cast-on and a set of short rows to higher up the back neck and improve the fit. After that, the combination of colorwork pattern and random colorwork strips is worked to the end of the yoke. Once the yoke is finished, stitches are separated into body and sleeves and worked separately in the round using random colorwork strips where contrasting color lines are added now and then at random intervals of varying widths. A small band of colorwork is then worked just above the sleeve cuffs. The neckband is worked last and finished with Tubular Bind-off.
