 -FALLING STARS PULLOVER-

Everyone wants a colorwork yoke sweater in their winter wardrobe, and now you can have one! This top-down,
seamless sweater boasts a wider-than-average neckline and a 2-color yoke broken down into smaller charts for more
accessibility. The charts are interchangeable, so you can knit them as written or in any order you please. Pick two
colors, your preferred amount of ease, and have fun knitting up your soon-to-be-favorite sweater as you dream of
winter (or Rhinebeck!).

NOTES

This sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. Simple increases are worked at regular
intervals in between charts to shape the yoke. Once the yoke shaping is complete, the sleeve sts are
placed on hold for later, and the front and back are joined to work the body in rounds down to the
lower hem. The sleeve sts are then returned to the needle to work each sleeve down to the cuff.

A generic M1 is used to note the yoke increases. You may choose to work M1L and M1R increases,
or to work all increases as one or the other.

When working with multiple skeins of the same hand-dyed color, alternating skeins every couple of
rounds is recommended to avoid color pooling. If you are only working with one skein of a given
color, alternating is not necessary.

When working the 2-color yoke, make sure to keep your floats loose enough to avoid puckering,
but not so loose as to distort the garment. Some knitters choose to knit colorwork on a needle one
size larger than the size used for the body. This is optional.

Please read through all instructions for clarity before beginning this project. Watch a fun video of
this sweater here.
