The Summer Sunset jumper is worked in pieces. First, the front piece is worked back and forth bottom up, then the neckline is formed and each shoulder is finished separately, continuing to shape the neckline. Then, the back piece is done the same way and the shoulders are seamed. After that, the sleeves are worked back and forth bottom up. The neck edge is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neckline.
