MAA

This sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. First the back and front yoke are worked flat, and the pieces are joined at underarms to form the body, which is worked in the round. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knitted along the armholes, and sleeves are worked top down in the round. Shoulders and sleeve cap are shaped with short rows.

The whole sweater, apart from ribbing, is worked in broken seed stitch. One-colour broken seed stitch is worked in the round as well as flat in two ways. Two-colour broken seed stitch is worked in the round only.
