NOTES
The pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces, beginning with split hems and a contrast color.
The Broken Rib Stitch changes to a Rib Stitch and then to a smooth Stockinette stitch.
The wide silhouette has dropped shoulders and features a button placket on one side. The placket is knit as a separate single piece, then sewn into the front and back pieces on the left shoulder.
After the pieces are seamed, the collar is picked up and doubled with a ribbed section for depth and texture.
Circular needles are recommended for flexibility at the collar. Two US 1 needles are used when doubling the stitches.
