The yoke is worked in yarn A, and then we suggest changing to yarn B before working the dividing round. Work in yarn B until body and sleeves are 2cm / ¾" shorter than your desired length before cuffs and hem. Work in yarn C for 2cm / ¾" on both body and sleeves, before joining yarn D to work cuffs and hem. The neckband is then picked up and worked in yarn A. This version features a plain hem and a folded neck **Gauge:** 20 sts & 32 rows = 10cm / 4" over garter stitch worked in the round on 4.5mm needles after blocking. **Needles:** 4mm / US 6 circular needle, 60-100cm / 24"-40" length depending on size worked AND 40cm / 16" length AND needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round 4.5mm / US 7 circular needle, 60-100cm / 24"-40" length depending on size worked AND 40cm / 16" length AND needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking. **Notions**: 4 stitch markers (including one unique for beginning of round), scrap yarn or stitch holders, tapestry needle **Notes:** Grainne is worked top down in the round with raglan increases and optional short rows at the neck. At the underarm, sleeve stitches are put on hold and the body is worked in one piece. This pattern provides instructions for two hem options, a straight hem or a split hem. The sleeve stitches are picked up and sleeves are worked down in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline and either a short neckband, a high neckband or a folded neckband is completed. Note: The shorter neckband sits better when the optional short rows have been worked during the yoke shaping. This pattern has a 2-st Stocking stitch faux-seam running down each side of the body and underneath each sleeve. **This pattern is a template for a single-colour pullover and does not include instructions for colour-blocking.
