Coloured Crosses Senior is a lovely and soft sweater with an elegant stranded pattern worked in four colors. The sweater is worked with twisted rib details and a soft, rolling edge at the neck. The design is worked from the top down. The first part of the yoke is worked back and forth, while the neckline is being formed, then the work is joined in the round. If you follow the instructions for the yoke carefully, the stranded pattern and the raglan increases become symmetrical and meet correctly at the armholes.
