The Petaltail sweater is knit circularly from the neckline to hem. The yoke stitch pattern is worked by following a chart and is reminiscent of the petaltail dragonfly, at least I think so! There are no short-rows used in this pattern, and instead the neckline is shaped by a handy gusset technique :) Pattern is written with 2 lengths of body to choose from, cropped or full. Shown in cropped length.
