Notes:

  1. This sweater is worked in sections of patterns using short rows, divided by contrast color (CC) ridges.
  2. The back, front, and sleeve charts show the armhole and neck shapings, short-row wrap and turn (w&T) sts, CC ridges, the chart worked in each section, and the outline of a full rep of the chart if it is not first used at an even edge. The small diagrams show the beginning and ending points for the short-row sections.
  3. It may be helpful to reproduce and enlarge all or parts of these charts and chart some areas of the patterns where full reps may not be worked.
  4. The sleeve chart shows only the first 64 rows.
  5. See Techniques, p. 162, for sl2tog-k1-p2sso, short-row wrap, and 3-needle bind-off.
