Construction technique
This garment starts by making the front shoulder pieces, which are later joined together by casting on new stitches across the front. Knit back and forth then make increases to shape the
underarms. Leave the stitches on a holder while you knit the back piece. To work the back, pick up stitches along the shoulders and cast on new stitches across the middle to complete the neckhole. Knit the back piece then join it to the front and continue the rest of the body in the round, finishing with a ribbed hem. Pick up stitches around the armholes and work a ribbed hem. Pick up stitches around the neck hole and work a folded neck band.
