This circular yoke style sweater is knit from the top down, in the round, seamlessly. Stitches are cast on at the top of the collar; short rows are used to shape the collar. Increase rounds shape the yoke and upper arms to the separation of the sleeves. Once the sleeves are separated, the body is completed to the hem. The sleeves are worked outwards from the body in the round.
