Anemone sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. It features a circular yoke construction, a round neckline with a higher back neck, and sleeves which taper toward the cuff.

After completing the yoke, one row-PR (four rnds in st patt) is worked across the back section to finish the yoke shaping and create a higher back neck.

Then the body is joined in the round and extra sts are added to the underarm at each side. A few rounds later, more sts are evenly added to the body to arrive at the final width giving 3½″ (9 cm) of positive ease. Then the body is worked evenly in rounds to the bottom.

After the body is complete, the sleeves are worked top down to the cuffs. Decreases are evenly placed along each sleeve creating a gentle taper until the end where they finish with a set of quicker decreases to create a narrow cuff.
