Notes
This pullover is worked in pieces and seamed—the front is striped in 2 contrasting colors while the sleeves and back are worked in the main color. Buttonbands are worked at the same time as the front and buttons run down the sides of the body. The neck ribbing is picked up and knit in the round after the body is seamed together.
