The archer sweater is worked from the top-down seamlessly. The back piece is worked back and forth and increased at both ends to form the cable shoulder seams, it is then continued until the armholes are completed.

The stitches are picked up on each shoulder and increased to shape the front neck. The front piece is knitted until reaching the underarms and then joined with the back piece to knit in the round for the lower body.

For the sleeves, the stitches are picked up around armholes, including the cable stitches from the back shoulder seams, so the cables are seamlessly flown onto the sleeves.

The sweater is finished with a 1x1 ribbing for the hem and crew neck collar.
