PATTERN NOTES
The body of this sweater is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. The front and back are separated at the underarms and worked flat, separately. The shoulders are joined with the three-needle bind-off. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knit in the round from the top down, though an option for seamed sleeves is also included. Stitches for the neckband are picked up and worked in the round.
Colorburst is a yarn featuring color shifts. To ensure your project looks as close to the sample as possible when breaking and rejoining yarn, be sure to visually match the color at the point in which you’re rejoining yarn. This may require you to wind off yarn from the ball, but we promise the results are worth the effort.
