Notes
This sweater is knit from the bottom up, holding sock weight yarn double. The body is worked in the round to the underarms. From here the front and back are worked separately, with very slight shoulder and front neck shaping. The shoulders are shaped with short rows, and are seamed using three needle bind off. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up at the underarm and knit down to the cuffs. Stitches are picked up along the neck opening to create a short ribbed collar with the smallest needles.
