CONSTRUCTION NOTES

The pullover is worked from the top down. Begin by knitting two pieces for the shoulders. The two pieces are joined together by casting on neckline stitches between them and then the Front is knitted. The Back is knitted in similar fashion to the Front. The Sleeves are knitted from the bottom up. The shoulders are sewn together and the Sleeves, centered across the shoulder seam, are sewn to the body. Then, the underside of the Sleeve and side seams of the body are sewn together. Finally, the bottom band, collar, and sleeve cuff stitches are picked up and knitted in 1×1 ribbing.
