Notes
This sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up. At the underarm stitches are bound off and from here the front and back are worked flat separately. (NOTE: By this point in the sweater you should be able to look at the RS of your work and “read” your knitting to be able to tell which round or row & column you are on, you will need to look at the RS of your work to make sure that your stitches line up in pattern when working the chart flat because depending on your size you may not be working full repeats of the chart at the beginning and/or end of your row). Stitches are bound off at the top of the shoulders to shape them, and then seamed together before the sleeve stitches are picked up. Short rows are worked across the top of the sleeves to shape the shoulders. Sleeves are knit in the round down to the cuffs and the collar stitches are picked up and knit in the round.
