CONSTRUCTION NOTES
This garment is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down.
Directions for the Knitted Cast On and the Icelandic Bind Off, as well as other useful information, can be found in the Special Techniques section of the book.
The neckband is worked first, then the yoke is knit in the round with increases occurring before and after each band of stranded colorwork.
The yoke is then divided to work the body, with additional stitches cast on at the underarms, while the sleeve stitches are held separately.
The sleeves are worked from the upper arm down with stitches picked up from the cast-on edge at the underarms and are tapered with decreases to the cuff.
2x2 Ribbing is always worked using the smaller needles.
