CONSTRUCTION
This sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. It features a turtleneck and dropped shoulders. The top section is worked flat in an Open Twisted Rib Stitch. The back shoulders are worked separately before joining them to work the remainder of the top back piece as one. Stitches are then picked along each of the back shoulder edges to work the front shoulders separately before joining them to work the remainder of the front piece as one. The front and back pieces are joined to work the body in the round in Stockinette Stitch. The hem is knitted in Half Twisted Rib. The neck trim and sleeves are both worked in the round by picking up stitches along the neckline and armhole edges.
