WOODBINE is a stranded colourwork sweater with a top-down construction, colourwork round yoke and textured ribbing. Starting with cast on for the neck ribbing, the sweater is worked seamlessly top down, using short rows to shape the neckline. After the yoke, the body and sleeves are separated while casting on stitches for the underarms, and then worked separately in the round.
