Evening Shadows is an all over colour-work, top-down, seamless, yoked sweater with long sleeves. The yoke is cast on and worked down, the increases are worked in the stockinette sections around the colour-work. Once the sleeves are separated, the fun does not stop with a wonderfully easy and effective colour-work pattern worked on the straight body. A simple rib finishes it. The sleeves are placed back on the needles and the colour-work is worked down the long sleeve with concurrent decreases, then a simple rib. The neckband is picked up and finished again with the simple rib.
