NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• This sweater is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. Increases are worked for the yoke, then the sleeves and body are separated at the underarms. The neck ribbing is folded down and worked together with the cast-on edge to create a folded neckband. The sleeves are worked in Moss Stitch and the body is worked in stockinette stitch with a lacey cable panel down the center front. After the body is complete, the sleeves are worked in the round, tapering to the cuffs.
