Welcome Serendipity! – the third of my recent color-block investigations. This version is worsted weight, cropped shorter than my others, with 1x1 rib trimming the edges of its stockinette stitch, worked overall. Gentle shaping occurs along the edges of its front and back panels. Side panels are worked evenly with ribbing positioned at the waist. This design is worked bottom-up with easy seaming to join its panels. Sleeves are worked in the round and set in. Enjoy!
