Construction
The sweater is worked from the bottom up in the round before separating for the front and back pieces. Stitches are picked up for the armhole: German short rows are used to shape the sleeve cap, and the rest of the sleeve is worked in the round until the cuffs. Finally, the zipper is installed between the front collar and zipper lining pieces. Note: due to the all around ribbing, the sweater will appear really small before blocking.
