This two - toned spring topper is a chocked full of techniques.

Casting on with a provisional cast on, the body is worked in short row intarsia at the same time as the chest shaping is done.

The stitches from the provisional cast on are picked back up to work an asymmetrical hem with use of sloped bind offs. Finally, the cap sleeves are created with top down in the round, short row shaping.

Four free video tutorials come with the purchased pattern
