It's knitted in Knitting for Olive Merino and Mohair together, in a clear red with a soft mohair halo over the smooth merino.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. You start with the back piece before picking up stitches for each shoulder separately and shaping the neckline opening with increases. The front and back pieces are joined under the armhole and the body is worked in the round. The sleeves are worked top down by picking up stitches around the armhole.
