About
The Holly Harvest Sweater is a circular yoke colorwork sweater that is knit top-down. The sweater is started with a 3x1 folded rib collar with a picot edge detail. Then, the colorwork yoke is worked with 6 additional contrasting yarns. German Short Rows are added to the back after working the colorwork to raise the back and lower the front neckline.

The sleeves are then separated and the body is worked in the round and finished with a split ribbed hem. Next the sleeves are worked in the round until the elbow where increases are made to create a bishop style sleeve. Lastly, we work the sleeve colorwork and finish the sleeve with a cinched ribbed cuff.
