This colorwork pullover is knit from the top down. The front and back collars are knit flat and joined. Short rows are used to shape the neckline. The yoke is worked in the round with raglan shaping, then the sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the lower body is worked, with a band of colorwork just above the ribbed hem. The sleeves are worked in the round down to the ribbed cuffs.
