Simple turtleneck slipover, worked seamlessly from top down. The work begins with the ribbed collar. The shoulders are then shaped with every round increases* until the necessary shoulder width is achieved. After that front and back are worked separately to the underarms. Body is then worked in the round towards the hem and finished off with the ribbing. Because all edgings are knitted as you go, there’s no other finishing required than weaving in the yarn ends and blocking.

*** inspired by contiguous shoulder technique by Susie Myers.
