Notes

  1. Larger sizes may prefer an additional longer size US 6 /4 mm circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches, but 24” length is necessary for neck trim.
  2. Achieving correct row gauge is vital for proper fit.
  3. Sweater is worked from the bottom up in two identical pieces, with sleeves cast on directly to body. Upper sleeve edges and shoulders are joined using the three-needle bind off method. Sides and inner sleeve edges are seamed, then sts are picked up around neck opening for trim.
