Ilmarinen, metal-worker,
Forges nights and days unceasing,
On the bride of his creation

This sweater is worked from the top down, with colourwork at the yoke, hem and cuffs. You can play with yarn dominance in this design. In the sample sweater, yoke rounds 1–24 are worked with the chartreuse yarn in the dominant position. After that, the yarn dominance is switched so that in the inner rays the white yarn is in the dominant position, and in the outer shapes the chartreuse is.
