Pluma Rosa is knit in fingering weight yarn and it has a colorwork yoke that uses lace weight yarn held double. It is worked seamlessly from the top down, in the round, with a rolled neckband. After the neckband, short rows are worked back and forth in flat to create a higher back neck and then the yoke is worked top down to sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold and the body is worked in rounds down to the hem. The sleeves are then returned to the needle, picking up stitches for the underarm for a totally seamless sweater. The sleeves are finished with colorwork and rolled edges.
