DIRECTIONS:
To find the downloadable patterns click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above.The instructions are written for smallest size. If changes are necessary for larger sizes the instructions will be written thus ( ). Numbers for each size are shown in the same color throughout the pattern. When only one number is given in black, it applies to all sizes.
NOTES:
To begin working with the O'Go format, carefully cut plastic tie where the ends of the O'Go meet.
Pull tie to remove.
For this pattern, colors can be easily separated by gently pulling apart and cutting at the color transition. Each color is ready to use. Follow color guide shown in Materials section for each O'Go (Contrast A, B, C, D, E). You may find it helpful to place each color section in its own resealable (zip lock) bag and label each bag A, B, C, D, E.
To change color, work to last 2 loops on hook and draw new color through last 2 loops, then proceed in new color.
All rnds are joined with sl st in first hdc.
Pullover is worked from top down.
Pullover is worked in rnds. When working Yoke, Body and Sleeves, turn at end of each rnd.
Ch 2 at beg of rnds does not count as st.
