CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The pullover is worked from top to bottom and begins with domino sections at the shoulders. Then, continue with the Front and then the Back to the desired length. Triangles are used to fill in and straighten the lower edge. The work will then be dampened and blocked. For the Sleeves, the stitches are picked up along the armhole and the Sleeve is worked in Color B from top to bottom in rows back and forth or in the round, if preferred. Lastly, the side seams and possibly the Sleeve seams are sewn together. Carefully steam all seams and Sleeves before the neckband and bottom band are worked.
