Overview
Snowdrops Sweater features classic polka dot, which is colorwork-beginner friendly. Instructions are both written and partially charted. The sweater is worked top-down, contiguously, with saddle shoulder construction. You start with working German Short Rows to raise the back yoke, then work increases for sleeves and body. Body and sleeves are divided at underarm to be worked separately.
