INTRO
A stranded 2 colour work pull over / tee. A great start for those who want to try out colour work knitting. The meaning of SISU itself are strength of will, determination and perseverance. This project is work in round starting from the neckline to the bottom waist line. It’s a yoke construction pattern and short rows are used after the colour work to shape the upper body. This pattern is made using dk weight yarn and can be easily converted for the use of other yarn weight by just up sizing it or down sizing it. Included in this pattern are a variety of sleeves length, unfinished neck line, ribbing neckline, crop / normal / half hip body length & also a choice for normal ribbing bind off and stretchy bind off.

YARN
