Wild Poppy Pullover is a lightweight (fingering weight), top-down circular yoke sweater, adorned with an eyelet and simple stranded colorwork yoke design. German short rows are worked flat, at the back of neck, for shaping (to raise the back of neck slightly) and then once again at the hem for slight hi-lo shaping. The rest of the sweater is worked in the round.

Wild Poppy Pullover can be finished with your choice of both body and sleeve length. For the body, choose from “Cropped” or “Standard” lengths; for the sleeves, there is an option for either a slightly cropped “Bracelet Length” or a shorter “Elbow Length”.
