NOTES
The sweater is worked in the round from the top down. After knitting the yoke with increases, the sleeves and body are separated. The body is then worked in the round first, followed by the sleeves.

The sweater is worked in a DK-weight yarn. For the stripes, the yarn is worked together with a single strand of silk mohair. You can use as few or as many different yarns as you wish. I used the same yarns for the body and the sleeves (except where I ran out of one colour), but you can also use different ones for each to use up even smaller amounts of mohair.

The lengths of the yoke, hem and sleeves are easily adjustable. The width of the stripe pattern is the same on all sizes, so the separation for the sleeves and body takes place in different places on the pattern depending on your size, exact gauge and preference.
