NOTES

  • The body of this pullover is worked in the round from the lower edge to the underarm, then the front and back are worked separately back and forth. After the shoulders are joined, sleeve stitches are picked up and the sleeves are worked in the round from the top down to the elbows, then the sleeves are worked back and forth.

  • For some sizes, it will not be possible to continue to shift the chart markers all the way to the shoulder because there will not be enough stitches outside of the markers . In this case, continue the diagonals as established.
