CONSTRUCTION NOTES
First, work the Front back and forth in rows and begin at the bottom of the ribbed band. At the underarm, new stitches are added on both sides for the Sleeves. Work straight up for a bit and begin short row shaping of the sleeves and the shoulders. At the same time, the neckline is bound off and both shoulders and Sleeves are completed separately. Work the Back in the same way but without neckline shaping. Then, the shoulders of the Front, Back and Sleeves are joined together before the sweater is finished with cuffs on the Sleeves and a neckband.
RECOMMENDED NEEDLE SIZE
4.5 mm (US 7) and something between 3 – 3.5 mm (US 2 – 4) for the bands
Guage
20 stitches = 10 cm
