CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up. At the armholes, the work is separated into Front and Back and each piece is worked separately. The top 10 cm are worked in a 3×3 ribbing pattern (K3, P3).
The work is then carefully steamed from WS facing before the shoulders are joined together. Pick up stitches around the armhole and work the Sleeves to the desired length. Finally, pick up stitches around the neckline and work the collar. The collar is worked in ribbing stitches to the desired length before it is folded toward the inside and sewn to the neckline edge.
