Hey Now Sweater

Because nothing says 'Heyyyy Now' like a fun bright sweater :)

NOTESThis sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. It begins with a simple ribbed roll neck, followed by a stranded colourwork yoke in between raglan shaping. After dividing for the body and sleeves, the remainder of the body is worked without shaping until the sides split for the hem. Finally, the sleeves are worked in the round from the armholes down, ending with a colourwork cuff which gathers into ribbing.

It is important to consider colour dominance with stranded knitting. For this pattern, the float of the contrast colour should always go under the main colour to ensure it is dominant over the background. This pattern uses charts for the colourwork sections.

A photo tutorial for the split hem section is provided at the end of the pattern.

The turtleneck could easily be made into a crew neck by working a shorter length of ribbing, which would mean your sweater requires 1 fewer skein of the main colour.
