Made the sleeves in the round, kitchnered the top of the shoulders together. I also could not figure out how the pattern expected so few stitches to be picked up for the neck edge, so I picked up the stitches with my own count, and completed the neckline that way. Overall I’m happy with the sweater, though the pattern is not for someone who is a beginner at reading patterns, as it was not the most easy to decipher.
