-read about difficulty levels here

The sweater has a simple construction formed with European shoulders.
The sweater is knitted from the top down. The yoke is knitted back and forth, after which the body and sleeves are knitted around. The cable pattern along the armhole can be knitted according to the described pattern or diagram. The colour change is made with the technique Dip dye. A solid colour yarn changes to a hand-dyed yarn and gives the “confetti” effect. The sleeves are picked up and shaped with short rows before being knitted around with colour changing in the same way as the body.

Techniques used:

• Short rows.
• Cables to the right and left (described as both text and diagram).
• Increases to the right and left.
• Dip dye colour change.
• Picked up stitches
