Tri Tone Sweater Pattern

A simple crew neck sweater with colour blocked sleeves. The Tri Tone Sweater features drop shoulders, wide sleeves, generous cuffs and a relaxed fit.

Worked from the top down, the back and front are knit flat with the use of short rows at the shoulders for the perfect fit. The panels are then joined at the underarms to continue the body in the round. Sleeves and neckline are picked up and knit in the round.
