This is a pattern for a cardigan/jacket worked from the bottom up in the round and with a dropped sleeve featuring stranded colourwork and steeks. The sleeves are worked from the top down to cuff.

This project uses large charts, experience and comfort working with large charts is helpful. Since there are longer floats over some colourwork sections, you may want to use the Ladder-back/Invisible Jacquard technique included. In addition, there is a small steeking tutorial, with link to video.

Charts are shown in colours similar to the sample.
