The Arboreal Pullover by Jennifer Steingass is worked seamlessly from the top down, starting with a garter stitch neck line. The stranded yoke is worked and then short row shaping is added on the back to shape the shoulders and neckline. The sleeves and body are separated and worked top down. Gentle waist shaping makes for a flattering, feminine fit. A good first-time stranded colour work sweater!
