Description
This sweater is worked in the round from the top down. Short rows are worked across the back for slight shoulder shaping. The sleeves stitches are put on hold after the yoke then picked up and worked in the round down to the cuff. You can choose to carry your contrasting colors through the solid stripes of Color A on both the body and the sleeves, if you prefer not to have as many ends to weave in. To do this, after working a row you can move your contrasting color (s) that you are NOT knitting with that round to the front of your work, work one round in pattern, then move that contrasting yarn to the back for the next round, repeating this back and forth until you need that color again.
