Notes

Changing the pattern up a bit to accommodate fingering weight yarn, knitting at a similar gauge to Anaashah and with cute capped sleeves for a summer vibe. No major mods other than gauge and I added two rows to the collar before starting the colorwork. Knitting the size ā€œEā€ which will turn out to be about a 40ā€ bust much like Anaashah but with a waist and hip shaping. It turned out perfect. I used less than 800 yds for this project.

I always use the same method for short rows on top-down sweaters (unless pattern specifies a different technique) it is the standard Wrap & Turn method. However, since you are working in the round you must employ a nifty trick to resolve the wraps on the right side, this video https://youtu.be/SCgycxLce94 illustrates the technique.
