Construction
The Sweater is worked from the top down, starting at the neck and increasing stitches for the upper back. Stitches for the front pieces are picked up and worked separately from the shoulders. When the front neck is formed the front pieces are joined and worked to the underarm. Then the front and back are joined and the rest of the body is worked in the round ending with ribbing. Stitches for sleeves are then picked up and worked in the round ending with ribbing. Finally, stitches are picked up at the neckline and worked in ribbing.
