The Easy Edgy Sweater is worked top down in a stockinette stitch. Both in a two-colour stockinette as well as a single colour stockinette. The sweater has a round yoke that is created with increases. In this pattern, you will only use two different colours and the entire sweater is worked in the round. Therefore, this sweater is the perfect project to learn how to knit with multiple colours.
