This piece is knitted bottom up in stockinette stitch, first in the round, then working the front and back separately. The sleeves are also worked in the round by picking up stitches after finishing the shoulder. The fit of the sweater is quite oversized and the sleeves are puffy, with a tight ribbing at the wrists. The bottom of the sweater is worked without ribbing and the neckline is finished off with a simple neat looking edge.
