Eowin is knitted seamlessly from the top down.
The neckline can be worked either with a rolled edge or with a narrow ribbed neckband. The second one is worked using a special, very simple technique to create an edge that looks similar to an Italian cast-on. Immediately afterwards, a few short rows are worked to form the neckline.
For the stranded colorwork yoke the pattern offers 2 options:
If you like a little challange you can work it with 3 colors (approx. half of the rounds are using 3 colors). If you want to go with a more relaxing knitting project you can chose the 2-colored version. Both charts are given in the pattern.
When the underarm length is reached, sleeve stitches are set aside and the lower body is finished in rounds. The sleeve stitches are then picked up again and the sleeves are finished in rounds.

Bust circumference of the finished sweater (2-4 inches / 5-10cm) positive ease included:
32.7 (36.3, 40.0, 43.6, 47.8, 50.9)”
83 (92, 102, 111, 122, 129) cm

Yarn:
The 3-colored sweater is worked with Rosy Green Wool Cheeky Merino Joy 399 yds (366 m) / 100 g
The 2-colored sweater is worked with Arwetta by Filcolana (230 yds (210m) / 50 g held together with 1 strand of Tilia by Filcolana (230 yds (210m) / 25 g
Every yarn or yarncombination that gives the right gauge will be fine. I recommend to use a yarn or yarncombination that is not too smooth, so that the stranded colorwork ist more easy to do.

Yardage: For a lower body length of 15” (38 cm), sleeve length 7.5” (45 cm)

Eowin wird nahtlos von oben nach unten gestrickt. Das Ausschnittbündchen kann entweder mit einem Rollrand oder mit einem schmalen Rippenrand gearbeitet werden. Letzteres wird so gestrickt, dass mit einer speziellen, sehr einfachen Technik eine Kante entsteht, die einem italienischen Maschenanschlag ähnelt. Unmittelbar danach werden ein paar verkürzte Reihen gestrickt, um den Halsausschnitt zu formen.
Für die farbig gestrickte Passe bietet die Anleitung 2 Varianten:
Für alle, die eine kleine Herausforderung mögen, kan die Passe mit 3 Farben gestrickt werden (ca. die Hälfte der Runden wird mit 3 Farben gearbeitet). Für ein entspannteres Strickprojekt kann die 2-farbige Version gewählt werden. Beide Strickschriften sind in der Anleitung enthalten.
Wenn die Achsellänge erreicht ist, werden die Ärmelmaschen stillgelegt und der untere Teil des Körpers wird in Runden fertig gestellt. Die Ärmelmaschen werden dann wieder aufgenommen und die Ärmel in Runden fertig gestrickt.
