Pattern Notes ~ This pullover is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round, except for the parts of the Ladder Pattern that require it to be worked back and forth in rows. At the underarms, the back and front(s) are divided and knit separately to the shoulders. The shoulders are joined using the three-needle bind-off, then the sleeve cap stitches are picked up and knit from around the armholes.
