This sweater is worked from the bottom up in rounds until you complete the body. Then, the body stitches are put on hold, and each sleeve is worked from the wrist up. Finally, the yoke is worked by taking your on hold stitches and adding the sleeves, then completing the yoke. At the end, you will add the neckline ribbing by picking up stitches around the neckline.
