Good to know
 
The sweater is knitted from top down, starting on the neckline, knitting the yoke and separating the arms and body and continuing from there to the hem and cuffs. Peplum details are knitted by picking up stitches from yoke and sleeves after the style has been knitted.
 
Yarn quantity required is based on an average , and is therefore an approximate number. The sweater can be knitted in any yarn that consists of the same thickness as Organic merino DK, and the color combination is not set in stone.
