This circular yoke pullover is a spin-off of the Sunshower Pullover for kids; however, the gauge and charts have been altered in this adult version. It uses one main colour of worsted weight yarn, along with six mini skeins in a rainbow gradient, worked top-down and seamlessly in the round.

This sweater fits snug at the neck, loose at the bust and waist, loose at the armholes and sleeves, and snug at the cuffs. The neckline is cast on and worked in ribbing, short rows are added, and the yoke is increased through wedges using the colourwork chart. Additional short rows are worked before the garment is separated into body and sleeves. The sleeves and body are worked in the round, and finished with a colourwork forearm prior to the cuff.
