SHORT SUMMARY

• This jumper is worked from the top down with zero raglan in turned rounds. The yoke and body are worked back and forth, from mid back (i.e. alternately from the right and wrong side) and crocheted together at the end of each row, top down. The sleeves are worked back and forth and crocheted together at the end of each row, top down. Due to the distribution of stitches, it has a comfortable neck depth and is crocheted without short rows!
• To crochet a cardinal bird design use intarsia crochet technique, which involves adding new yarn for each color change.
