An attractive, relaxed fit, 2-colour stranded sweater - reflecting current trends for block-colour design.
The main pattern band on the yoke and upper sleeves is set against a simple 2 stitch pattern repeat, with 2 plain stocking stitch rows between each colour row.
The background shades on the main pattern reverse shades on the upper and lower sections of back and front.
The body is worked bottom up and the sleeves top down.

Please note, the pattern contains a copy of my original hand-written chart
