This is a pattern for a stranded colourwork sweater worked in the round and from the top down and with a steek. Poppy Pods also has afterthought pockets set with waste yarn and a chart for working Duplicate Stitch patterning. There are no specific instructions for waist shaping, but you may work it as you prefer. The yoke, sleeve, and pocket motifs are charted.
Please see schematic for all approximate finished sizes. Much of the garment is worked in a single colour making ‘best fit’ adjustments easy.
I did not use the Ladderback Jacquard technique but included the tutorial for anyone who would like to use this technique over the longer float areas. I also included my usual small tutorial and link for steeking. I did use the crochet method for the sample since this yarn is elastic.
