Soft and springy Arbor yarn knits up with snuggly squish in the two- or four-color mosaic colorwork yoke, with only one color per round to keep track of! Seamless, top-down construction and options for customizing the length of the yoke, body, and sleeves makes knitting — and fitting — this colorful pullover a breeze.
