CONSTRUCTION NOTES
Bunting Sweater is a top-down, circular yoke sweater. Order of construction is listed with casting on neck sts, neck ribbing, set-up increases, short rows, yoke chart, separating sleeves and body, then knitting a straight body and tapered sleeves. The yoke increases are incorporated throughout the colorwork yoke charts and short rows deepen the backside of yoke for a better fit.

Bunting Sweater has an intended 3 inch / 7 cm of positive ease for body and 2.5 to 3.25 inch / 6 - 8 cm of positive ease for sleeves. If you would like a more fitted sweater, choose one size lower than your actual bust size. Pattern includes tips and formulas to adjust body and sleeve lengths to wearer’s individual size.
Sample C, size 1, has 1 inch of positive ease and Sample D, size 6, has 2 inches of positive ease.

Measurements are based on the standards and guidelines of the Craft Yarn Council.

As I like to move colors around, this pattern includes three different charts for 2- and 3- color versions. The motif has a nice intuitive repeat to it that allows for more flow while making and less checking charts. I hope you like it!
