NOTES

  • This pullover is worked from side to side, beginning and ending with the sleeve ribbing.

  • When working an increase or decrease at the beginning of a row, use the color with which you ended the previous row, then continue as charted.

  • The charts are worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than four stitches, tack stranded yarn on the wrong side of the work.

  • Some chart rows use three colors of yarn. If you prefer, you may work the chart with two colors, then use duplicate stitch to add the third color during finishing.

  • A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
