Carnivore is knit from the bottom up in the round, and begins with a central twist stitch panel. It has a gentle A-line shape, and waist shaping occurs at princess lines. Front and back are divided at the armholes and knit flat. The central twist stitch panel is divided in two for a V-neck. The twist stitch cables flanking the divided twist stitch panels continue beyond the front as back neck extensions. They are sewn down along the back neckline to form edging. A tidy 2-stitch I-cord worked from the wrong side finishes the armholes.
