Let the yarn do all the work!

The original design uses Mandala Yarn from Lion Brand. The looonnngggg color repeats create color blocks without a bunch of ends to work in.

The wide ribbed front neck band can't be knit in one piece on the machine ... pick up your hand knitting needles (or enlist a hand knitting friend).
There is no rule that your sweaters have to be knit ONLY on the machine.
