Morphing features a colorwork pattern on the neck and sleeves whose shapes morph together, changing the color of the sweater for the main body. It is worked seamlessly from the top down. It starts with a colorwork yoke. Short rows are worked to raise the back. Body and sleeve increases are then worked along raglan lines. The sleeves mirror the colorwork pattern of the yoke. The body is worked in the main color, down to and including the ribbed hem.
Directions for the colorwork yoke and sleeves are provided as written text and charts.
