CONSTRUCTION: The Islasweater is knitted top down. First, the back piece is worked in rows with increases. Then, stitches are picked up along the shoulders to knit the front piece in rows. After that, the pieces are joined in the round, and the body of the sweater is knitted. Next, stitches are picked up along the armholes to knit the sleeves. Finally, stitches are picked up to work the neckband in twisted rib.
