This is a pattern for an cropped, elbow length sleeved, circular yoked sweater with a generous fit. Lilian is worked from the top down and in the round, using the Fair-Isle knitting technique.

Stitches are cast on for the neck, the rib is worked, then a series of Short Rows between the charts for neck shaping. After yoke is worked, the sleeve stitches are separated from body, then the body and each sleeve is worked using written and charted instructions. All stitches are bound off and your piece is ready for blocking!
