This sweater is a top down construction, with a Celtic cable front, cables down the sleeves and Irish moss stitch background. Initially it is knitted flat with a button band and two button holes. The sleeves are separated from the body then the button hole bands are joined together to form a placket. The body is then continued in the round and finished with rib. The sleeves are then knitted in the round using the magic loop method (or double pointed needles).
