This is an intermediate sweater inspired by a knit by Ann Rothman, a Holocaust survivor, for her friend and fellow survivor, Helena Weinrauch.

This V-neck sweater with bishop sleeves is knitted bottom up, in the round, before separating for front and back at the underarm. The body of the sweater is done without shaping, The neck trim and sleeves are then picked up separately.

There are three options for the sleeves:
Version A. Full sweater and cuffs in DK merino, adding a strand of mohair to the DK merino for the sleeves.
Version B. Bodice and cuffs in DK merino, Suri held double only for the sleeves only.
Version C. Knit the full sweater in DK merino.
