CONSTRUCTION
This jumper features an all-over textured mosaic pattern. The body is knitted from the bottom up in one piece working in the round to the armholes and then flat, before the shoulders are joined with a 3-Needle BO. The sleeves are picked up from the body and worked in the round, with decreases just before the cuff ribbing. The collar is picked up from the neckline and worked in ribbing in the round.
