This design is worked top-down, at the start it’s worked flat and after about half the yoke it’s joined in the round. Sleeves are very short, really just cap sleeves, and yoke depth ease is generous. There are several different stitch patterns thoughout the body to create a surface interest; seed stitch, ribbing and herringbone.

Advice on yarn selection:
The yarn I used is sport weight and supersoft. It is not superwash but because of the mix of wool with silk and cashmere it is similar to superwash in being a little slippery.
This pattern has been designed with a speckled yarn in mind. If you don’t like this type of colorway a solid or subtle variegation in colour works best. I would discourage using a variegated yarn with long sections of varying colours.

Except yarn and needles you will need markers, scrap yarn for holding sleeves and two buttons.
