TOP-DOWN
Start with the neckline, knit the raglan increases, and divide the work into sleeves and body once the raglan is complete. Finish the body first, then the sleeves.
About yarn usage and colour distribution:
The jumper shown is knitted in size XS and weighs approx. 175 grams. From size M and up, 5 balls of Dale Kidsilk Erle (50 g each) will usually be enough, regardless of length and colour layout.
This is an ideal project for using up scrap yarn – it doesn’t matter exactly how many centimetres each colour takes up. Feel free to use what you have and finish the body and sleeves with the colours you have the most of. The colour choices in the pattern are only guidelines based on the sample.
