notes
a. This pullover is worked in the round from lower edge to the underarms. The sleeves are worked separately in the round, then the sleeves and body are joined to work the yoke.
b. The Yarn Over method of short rows is used throughout but you may substitute another method if you prefer.
c. When working the yoke, change to shorter needles when necessary. Smaller sizes may need to use the magic loop method or DPNs for the end of the yoke and neckband.
d. If necessary, use a larger or smaller needle for the stranded colorwork to maintain same gauge as for stockinette.
e. MC yarn was held in the dominant position throughout.
