Procedure:
The sweater is worked top down in one piece and is assembly free. First, stitches are cast on at the centre back, first working the left and then the right shoulder.
Then stitches are picked up along the front of the shoulders and along the back section. Continuing to work flat, with increases for sleeves and neckline. The work is joined by casting on stitches for the yoke in the round on a circular needle. Then the work is divided into body and sleeves which are worked one at a time ending with rib edges. To finish, stitches are picked up around the neckline and worked in rib, which is finished with a tubular bind off.
