Notes: Bunkhouse is a modified dropped shoulder sweater
worked seamlessly from the top down, with bobbles framing the base of the collar and top of the sleeves.
The 2x2 ribbed collar is worked to double the finished height, then folded to create a sturdy neckline. The sleeves and neckline shaping are worked flat. The Turkish cast-on method is used to cast on stitches for each sleeve, and German short rows are used to shape the front neck, back neck, and sleeve curves. Sleeves are joined using a three-needle cast-off, and the body is worked in the round to the slightly tapered ribbed hem. Finally, cuffs are added to each sleeve.
