Read the material and size specifications
The Intermediate design uses Caron Simply Soft in Gray Heather, 141.7 g/250 yd, plus Simply Soft Ombres in Teal Zeal and Gold, 141.7 g/235 yd. The six size groups need 3, 3, 4, 4, 5 or 6 main-color balls and 1, 1, 1, 2, 2 or 2 of each contrast. The suggested hook is 5 mm and gauge is 13 single crochets and 14 rows per 4 inches.
Understand the construction
The yoke is worked from the neck down in joined rounds with 15, 16, 17, 18, 20 or 22 chart repeats. Finished chest measurements are 40, 44, 46, 50, 56 and 63½ inches. Body and sleeve ribbing are worked in vertical half-double-crochet rows and sewn to the yoke, so the direction of those sections differs from the colorwork.
Follow one size column
Highlight the chosen size in the material list, chart-repeat count and finishing measurements. Compare the finished chest with your body measurement and intended ease before starting. The smallest group covers a 28–34 inch chest, while its finished garment measures 40 inches.
Watch carried yarn
The source encloses the unused color inside the working stitches. Keep the strand loose enough that the yoke lies flat, and check the back of the swatch for puckering. A larger hook may change both gauge and the visibility of the carried color.
Compare the separate ribbing
Lay matching sleeve sections together before sewing. Mark the center and quarter points of each joining edge to distribute the seam evenly. Use the PDF chart for exact diamond placement; the Reel illustrates the appearance rather than reproducing the chart.
How to read the illustration
The illustration retains the grey ribbing and teal-and-gold diamond yoke, but its fit is narrower than the broad source swoncho and the motif placement is approximate. The hand shot shows generic edge work, not the charted colorwork sequence.
