update 10/05: japanese translation added
Mailin is a cozy sweater worked seamlessly from the top down. First the yoke is worked back and forth to the final neck CO. From that point the yoke is worked in the round to the underarms, where sleeve sts are placed on hold to work the body first top down to the bottom. Sleeve sts are then placed back on the needles to work them top down in the round. Neck finishing is worked last - the pattern includes two neck finishing options (option 1: scoop neck; option 2: cowl neck) as well as two slightly different versions of the front lace pattern.
