PATTERN NOTES
Sweater is crocheted from the top down, starting with the ribbed saddles. The back is worked across the saddles to the armholes, then the front is worked to the armholes and the pieces are joined. Sleeves are crocheted around armhole edges, leaving only the ribbing to be seamed.

Shoulder shaping is achieved using short rows.
