Pattern Notes:
This pattern is knit bottom up in 3 pieces, with sleeves sewn on separately. You’ll be knitting in the round until the underarm area (some colorwork is worked in the round). Next, you’ll work flat to form the armhole and collar. Each size has its own chart for the body and the sleeves. Once the 3 pieces are finished you’ll seam them together. Last, you’ll pick up stitches to add the collar ribbing.
Quick note about yarn
I used hand dyed yarn so I had to alternate 2 MC skeins every row to keep the color uniform. The sleeves and the CC areas were small enough to finish without alternating between 2 skeins.
Sizing Guide:
The measurements listed are the measurements of the finished sweater. I suggest you add at least 2 inches to your chest circumference when choosing a size. So if you measure 50” around then knit the 52”, or if you measure 51” then knit 54”. Adding more space for your stranded colorwork to “breathe” is always a good idea.
