Faye Sweater

The Faye Sweater is a DK weight seamless top down sweater featuring a three-color colorwork design on the yoke. It is worked in the round from the top down, starting with optional short row shaping. After the colorwork section is complete, stitches are put on hold for the sleeves, and the body is knit to the hem in the round. Stitches are picked up and placed back on the needles, to be knit down and in the round for both sleeves.
