Notes Sleeves and top body are worked side to side. While working sleeve shaping and front and back around the neckline opening you’ll keep track of your stripe pattern. Stitches are then picked up for the body and worked in the round until you separate for the high low shaping.

The striped pattern is very challenging to keep track of, so print the pattern and mark them off as you go, or write them down and check them off that way so you don’t get lost!
