Please note that this pattern was originally published by Valley Yarns (WEBS) and was discontinued when the original yarn was no longer available. This updated version now has ribbed edges instead of folded hem edges and is now available in a wider range of sizes.

The body and sleeves of this lopapeysa are worked in the round to the armholes, then joined for the colorwork circular yoke. Short rows are used to raise the back of the neck after the sleeves and body are joined. The yoke and neckband are worked in the round.
