The Bergman sweater is knit from the top down and features colorwork at the yoke, hem and sleeve cuffs. The design is written to be slightly cropped with decreases to bring the waist in, but the decreases may be omitted, and the length can be adjusted to the knitter’s preference. If omitting the waist decreases, you will not be able to work the colorwork design at the hem as the decreases are worked to make the chart work.
A reverse color chart option is provided for ease of reading.

I used Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Mungo yarn for my version- a recycled wool and cotton yarn entirely spun from pre-consumer waste generated by Portuguese spinning mills. You can find this yarn and kits at their website! Thank you so much to Rosa and her team for providing the yarn for this design!

You can also find a coordinating hat pattern here!
