Rainbloom by Jennifer Steingass

Construction
This sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. First the stranded yoke is worked, then short rows are added to shape the back of the shoulders. The body and sleeves are separated and worked in the round. Options for either a colorwork cuff with an applied i-cord edge or a tall garter stitch cuff are given.
