Notes
This sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up. The front and back are separated when stitches are bound off for the underarms, then worked flat separately. Stitches are bound off for the front and back necks, with short row shoulder shaping worked on both the fronts and back, and slight neck shaping on the fronts. The shoulders are seamed with three needle bind off technique. The sleeves are picked up and knit in pattern in the round with decreases down to the cuff. The collar stitches are picked up and worked in ribbing then bound off and seamed to the inside of the sweater for a rolled collar.
