Greenfinch

This short-sleeved top features a contrasting slip stitch contrast pattern at the waist and on the yoke.

This is a seamless sweater that is worked bottom up in the round with the sleeves worked down from a provisional cast on added at the start of the yoke.

The contrast colour can be a good way to use up a partial ball of 4-ply or a mini skein set.
