This textured pullover features a geometric stitch pattern on the front and slip stitch ribbing on the sides. The construction is top-down beginning with a cast on of the stitches for the back. From there the shoulders are shaped with short rows and the back is worked flat to the underarm. Similarly, the front is shaped with short rows, one shoulder at a time, the neck is shaped and joined and then the front is worked down to the underarm as well. Once there, stitches are cast on for the underarm and the back and front are joined in the round and worked down to the lower edge. Sleeve stitches are picked up from the armhole edge and worked in the round. The narrow neckband is picked up in the finishing and worked in the round.
