This pattern is knitted bottom up, sewing on the sleeves separately. You’ll be knitting in the round until the underarm area (some colorwork is done in the round), then working flat to form the arm hole and collar. Each size has its own chart for the body and the sleeves. All charts are included at the end of this pattern. Once the 3 pieces are finished you’ll seam them together then pick up stitches to add the collar.
A 16-inch circular needle may be used in place of the dpns when there are sufficient sts to fit around it.
