CONSTRUCTION NOTES

The sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up using a circular needle. Begin with the Body and work up to the armhole, then work the upper Body pattern back and forth. Or, it could be continued to be worked in the round (adding steek stitches at each side), but then the armholes will need to be cut open later. The neckline is worked in rows back and forth over the last 7 cm. The shoulders are then joined together.The Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole opening and the Sleeves are worked to the desired length from the Body to reach the cuff.Then, the ribbed cuff is worked. Finally, the sweater is carefully steamed from the WS.
