Construction Notes
This sweater is a stranded circular yoke pattern, knit top down in the round. Includes short row shaping for back. Sample shown in size 1.

Pattern Notes
This sweater is very much a choose your own adventure. I have included Ptolemy’s 48 constellations as well as the big dipper by itself. For the sample I chose constellations that are visible in the northern hemisphere in autumn and winter.

Charts can be worked either direction. The brightest star can be worked as a larger bobble, if so desired.
