Thelma pullover

The Thelma pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband. The circular yoke is knitted with stranded colorwork that was inspired by my Scandinavian heritage. The back is made longer than the front by adding short-rows below the colorwork. The short-rows are optional but improve the fit of the sweater. The body and the sleeves are worked in just Stockinette stitch. There’s an option of adding colorwork also to the cuffs.
