This jumper is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down using the Contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers. The upper body is worked flat to create the V- neck and the sleeves are constructed using a contiguous method. The rest of body and the sleeves are worked in the round.
A classic contiguous jumper design, which is surprisingly easy to use as a foundation for your own ideas.
