NY Skyline Pullover
Design by Rene Lorion

Standard fitting, short-sleeved pullover with intarsia New York skyline motif on front.
1) Work with 2 strands of a color held tog throughout. 2) When changing colors, carry yarn not in use loosely across back of work, twisting yarns to prevent holes in work. When there are large areas of color A between the buildings, use bobbins to avoid long floats. 3) The number of stitches on front and back differ due to the different gauges. Because intarsia motif at the top of the front is minimal, the front will be wider than the back at the shoulders. Stitches are decreased while binding off the front shoulders so that the number of stitches match for seaming. The back neck width is smaller than the front neck.
