Happy Knitting! :)
Keep Smiling is a top-down, seamless pullover with set-in sleeves, wide, curved boat neck and side vents.
Upper front part is worked first from shoulders to the top of the sleeve caps, the front neckline and the shoulders are shaped with short rows. The stitches of the back are picked up from the cast on edge of the front and back is worked to the top of the sleeve caps.
Then the pieces are joined together and the stitches of the sleeve caps are picked up. From this point back, front and sleeve caps are worked simultaneously to the underarm.
Body is worked in one piece from the underarm to the hem, where the pieces are separated again and the back and front hem is worked back and forth in rows with slipped stitch edges.
Sleeves are worked from the underarm to the cuff in the round.
