This basic unisex sweater is begun by knitting the front and back bands, joining them, knitting in the round to the armhole, then knitting the back and front separately in Garter Stitch. After seaming the shoulder, the rolled collar is knitted, followed by picking up stitches around the armhole and knitting sleeves to desired length. Another seamless creation!
