The sweater is worked flat from the bottom up in four pieces and seamed. Stitches are picked up around the neckline edge for the collar. The dog image is worked using the intarsia colourwork method and the string of fairly lights is knitted separately and sewn on. Use the intarsia technique when working the chart, preparing small separate balls for sections of colour and twisting yarns to prevent holes.
