Notes
This pullover is worked from the top down as follows: stitches for the back are cast on, shoulders are shaped with short rows and the back is worked flat to the hem. Stitches for the front are picked up from the back shoulders, neck shaping is worked and right and left fronts are joined. The front is then worked flat through the hem. Front and back are seamed at the sides. Sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked down in the round. The collar is picked up last and worked in the round. Tubular bind offs are used throughout — do not bind off too tightly, going up a needle size may help to keep the bind off loose.
