DIRECTIONS
Starting at the neckline, this sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. The stranded yoke is worked and then short rows are added to shape the back of the sweater. The body and sleeves are separated and worked in the round. Long sleeve cuffs are finished with colorwork detail and an applied i-cord edge.
