The Colorblock Pullover is knit from the bottom-up beginning with 1” of ribbing in the round. The body is worked in Stockinette in the round, changing colors every 5”. When the body measures 15”, the fronts and back are split and worked separately. Neckline shaping is created using BO sts in each front. The fronts and back are connected with a Three Needle Bind Off at the shoulders after short row shaping. Sleeve stitches are picked up evenly along each armhole and worked in the round with no decreases until immediately before the cuff ribbing to create a balloon shape. All instructions for these techniques are included in the pattern.
