Notes: Aloft is worked in Fisherman’s Rib from the bottom up in the round, to the armholes, before separating for the front and back to work the upper body flat. The shoulders are joined with the 3-needle cast-off. The sleeves are then picked up around the armholes and worked down in the round. Finally, the neckband is finished with a short section of Fisherman’s Rib and a tubular cast-off.
