The sweater is knitted from the top down. Stitches are cast on at the shoulder slope, and the back is worked flat down to the underarm. Stitches are then picked up at the shoulders to work the front flat.
The front and back are joined on a large circular needle to work the lower body in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armhole to knit the sleeves in the round.
