This sweater is worked from the bottom up, seamlessly. Starting with a split hem, the body is joined in the round and worked in the round until the divide for the sleeves. The front and back are then knit flat, and are joined at the shoulders with a 3 needle bind off. Sleeves are picked up and knit in the round without any decreases.
