Cold Shoulder is a top down pullover. The shoulder saddles are knit first and then the stitches are put on hold. The fronts and backs are picked up from the edges of the shoulder saddle, and the sleeves are knit across the saddle stitches previously put on hold. Short rows are used to complete the shoulder shaping for the front and back. The yoke is worked in the round. The sleeve stitches are put on hold while the underarm stitches are cast on. The body is continued in the round down to the hem ribbing. The sleeves are returned to the needles, and knit from the underarm down to the cuff. The turtleneck collar is picked up from the neckline edge.
