This sweater was designed by Elizabeth Zimmermann for publication by Bernat. As described in her book Knitting Around Bernat modified her seamless circular knit design and re-wrote the instructions to knit flat and seam together four pieces. Zimmermann subsequently published her own fully circular version, which can be found here: Fair Isle Yoke Pullover by Elizabeth Zimmermann
