Notes
This pullover is worked from the center out in four pieces. The pieces are worked back and forth in rows, using a circular needle to accommodate the large number of sts. The entire piece is worked with two strands of yarn held together. The colors of the strands can be the same or different. The strands are changed to create different marls, or the 2-strand solid main color.
