NOTES

  • This pullover is worked back and forth in pieces from the bottom up and seamed.

  • Because some shaping occurs before the Colorwork chart begins on the sleeve, you will need to center the chart on the sleeve as follows: Count the number of stitches between the edge stitch (garter stitch) and the marked center stitch. Count backward from the center stitch of the chart for that number of stitches, cycling through the pattern repeat as needed. Begin working the chart at this point. Center stitch of chart should align with marked center stitch.
