NOTES

• This pullover is worked back and forth from the bottom up in two pieces and seamed.

• To prevent color pooling, alternate skeins of yarn every two rows to blend the hand-dyed yarn.

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

• When shaping the neck in the Chevron pattern, if you do not have enough stitches to work a full 16-stitch repeat, work these stitches in stockinette stitch (or garter stitch if you are on Row 7, 8, 19, or 20 of the pattern).
