Construction
This seamless striped jumper is worked entirely in the round in stockinette stitch from the top down. You will first work the folded neck trim before working the yoke. You will then divide the body from the sleeves at the underarm point and continue to work the body in the round before knitting the sleeves in the round. You will be changing colors every second row throughout all stockinette sections. To avoid weaving in so many ends, follow the instructions for the Weavin’ Stephen technique to learn how to weave in ends as you go. Follow the instructions for Jogless Stripes to avoid jogs when knitting your stripes in the round.
