The Trixie Sweater is a contiguous drop-shoulder sweater, knit top-down. The neckline is worked back and forth for shaping before being joined in the round to work the shoulders. The back and front are worked separately for the armholes, and then joined in the round for the body, which is finished with a split hem. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeve, which is worked with decrease shaping to a corrugated rib cuff. The neckband is picked up and worked at the end.
