It is constructed from the top down. To start, the back shoulders and the back neck are shaped using short rows, then worked flat to the underarm. Then, pick up and knit stitches along both shoulder seams and work the two shoulder sections separately. Join the shoulder sections by casting on new stitches at the center front and finish working the front section. Now join the front and back sections and work the remainder of the body in the round.Once the body is finished, stitches will be picked up for the neckline and sleeves to work the in the round.The neck edge is worked in rib.
