NOTES

  • The top of this pullover is worked in four sections where each begin at the center of the yoke and work toward the sleeve; they are later joined into right and left sides. The upper front and back are worked separately back and forth, then the body is worked in the round from the top down. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole and worked in the round, and the pattern continues from yoke to sleeves.

  • The garter-stitch edge for the border is not shown on the Border chart. Garter stitch is worked flat on the yoke and continues in the round on the sleeves.

  • Move removable marker down every right-side row to mark center of shoulder.
