The high waist City Sweater is a stranded colorwork sweater knit in the round from the bottom up. It has a cropped body and full-length sleeves. You start by knitting the ribbing on the body before you increase and start following the colorwork chart. You then add steek-stitches for the sleeve opening, knit back and forth to shape the neckline and finish with ribbing. You knit the sleeves from the bottom up. Steek (sew and cut) the sleeve opening and attach the sleeves to the body.
