PATTERN INFORMATION

Stripes overlaid with large polkadots, this fun design is simpler to knit than it looks as there are only ever 2 colours per row. Start by knitting the body and sleeves from the bottom up. Then join the 3 pieces onto one needle and seamlessly work the fun and graphic yoke design, punctuating it with bobbles, whilst gradually making decreases to shape the shoulders. After the last decrease has been made, short rows are added to raise the back neck slightly, before finishing off this playful sweater with the contrast-colour neck ribbing. Beautiful and light in cotton with cropped sleeves for summer, this sweater would work equally well knit in a DK wool with longer sleeves for colder months.
