PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down. Only one color per row is used during Crosses, Left Slant, and Right Slant patterns. Whichever color is shown before the round number is the color that will be used for that round. In this pattern, slip all stitches purlwise with yarn held in back unless otherwise noted.
Chiaroscuro is available as part of e-book Still Life, and as an individual pattern through Ravelry.
