Pattern notes
This bold colour-blocked, fried egg themed pullover is knitted from the bottom up, all in one piece. The body is made first, with the egg white pattern being worked from a chart before setting the underarm stitches aside. The sleeves are worked next, with the egg white motif worked around the sleeve tops, before body and sleeves are joined together. The yoke / yolk is worked in plain stockinette and shaped with a combination of raglan and circular yoke decreases. Turned rib completes the neckline. Charts are read from right to left throughout.
