GreenRidge
GreenRidge is a short sleeve pullover knit from the bottom up. The waist band is knit in the round and the body is knit back and forth with a buttonband picked up and knit after the body is complete. The sleeves are knit from the armhole down to the ribbing with short rows to shape the sleeve cap. The color-work is created using slip stitches and only one color of yarn is used per row.
