CONSTRUCTION NOTES

JACKET
The pattern is worked in the round from the bottom up using steeks which are later cut open along the center front as well as both armholes. Then, the front edge and collar are worked. Sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole and worked from top to bottom until the desired length is reached. The Sleeves can be worked in the arrow pattern or in garter stitch. Lastly, a bias or mesh tape can be added to cover the cut edges of the steeks on the WS.

PULLOVER
The pattern is worked in the round from the bottom up using steeks which are later cut open along the armholes and neckline. Sleeve stitches are picked up along the cut-opened armholes and the Sleeves are knitted out from top to bottom in the arrow pattern to the desired length. Lastly, a bias or mesh tape can be added to cover the cut edges of the steeks on the WS.
