Construction Notes:
The sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up, with slight waist and bust shaping. The body is then divided and underarm stitches cast off. The front and back are worked separately and identically with minimal short row shoulder shaping. The body is finished with a three needle bind-off at each shoulder. Stitches for each cap sleeve are then picked up and worked in the round with some short row shaping.
While the majority of the sweater is worked in stockinette stitch, there is a row of garter stitch at each edge (waist, neck, and sleeve) to prevent rolling. The side “seams” of the body also feature a few purl stitches to incorporate waist and bust shaping.
