Construction
CRITERIA IT is a top-down pullover with a fully integrated set-in sleeve construction.

The garment begins at the back neck, shaped three-dimensionally using German short rows.
Stitches are then picked up to form the right and left front shoulders, which are worked flat to establish the front neck and shoulder slope.

Before joining in the round, the back, front, and both sleeves are fully defined.
Once the front neck shaping is complete, the work transitions to circular knitting, and the body and sleeves are shaped simultaneously.

This approach allows the neckline, shoulders, and sleeve caps to be shaped anatomically, resulting in balanced proportions, stable shoulder geometry, and smooth sleeve-to-body transitions—without seams.

Skill Level
Designed for experienced knitters.
Familiarity with German short rows, top-down construction, and set-in sleeve shaping is required.
