Helpful Information: This sweater is made to be a fitted garment with a color band that appears just below the bust. There is a stitch sequence that repeats every 9 sts that creates lines that are vertical. These line(s) are created by knitting two sts together and then doing a yarn over, with the following row being a knit or purl depending on where you are in completing the garment. The V neck is created by an overlap of stitches that decrease by one stitch on each side. Extra stitches are picked up by working with knitting two needles and the pattern followed to create a beautiful neckline.
