This is the fingering weight version of my popular worsted weight Tensho Pullover which is named for Tenshō Shūbun, a Sumi Ink artist dating from the 14th century.

The sweater is knit from the bottom up in the round, and the body and sleeves joined at the underarm. A few raglan-style decreases are made before beginning the circular yoke color work, which incorporates more decreases. Short rows are worked just before the colorwork for a better fit around the neckline. The sleeves can be knitted using the magic loop method, or using dpn. Some knitters might choose to work the ribbing on a size smaller needle, which can give a tighter rib.

Pay special attention to Chart B, which has two versions depending on which size you are knitting.
