Notes
This sweater is worked in the round from the top down. A rolled collar is knit first, then folded over and knit together with the sweater before the yoke is worked. The body is knit in garter stitch with a simple drop stitch pattern that is worked through the yoke. Short rows are worked across the back for slight shaping. Change needle lengths as required as the yoke circumference increases. After the yoke, the sleeve stitches are put on hold. The body and sleeves are both knit in garter stitch in the round. Slight waist shaping for the body is optional, along with set in kangaroo pockets.
