The Bergman sweater is knit from the top down and features colorwork at the yoke, hem and sleeve cuffs. The design is written to be slightly cropped with decreases to bring the waist in, but the decreases may be omitted, and the length can be adjusted to the knitter’s preference. If omitting the waist decreases, you will not be able to work the colorwork design at the hem as the decreases are worked to make the chart work.
A reverse color chart option is provided for ease of reading.
This kit only includes the yarn to make the sweater.
