Pattern Notes

• The sweater is worked from the top-down with minimal seaming.

• The front and back shoulder pieces are given signifiers of “right” and “left” and this

  positioning refers to the shoulder from the wearer’s perspective.

• The sleeves are worked at the same time as the shoulders and neckline with a garter

  stitch border.

• To work the tee with multiple colors of yarn (like Christina’s tee), 6-9 rows/rounds were

  worked for each stripe in each doubled color before changing to another color. For

  an ombre effect, switch out only one strand of color at a time.

• Christina’s tee is cropped and Shaina’s tee has decreasing (about 12 sts) just before

  the bottom ribbing. Adjust the length and shaping of the top to suit your taste.
