| Pattern Notes & Construction
L E E D A is a top down, seamless, circular yoke sweater made with two colors of fingering weight yarn. It starts with a provisional cast on for a folded neckband. Short rows are used to provide a comfortable fit at the back neck. The yoke features stranded colorwork that is worked from chart. Whereas the body is worked straight, the sleeves are gently shaped to the striped cuff.
