PATTERN NOTES
Sweater front and back are knit flat in pieces from the bottom up. After shoulders are finished with a 3 needle bind off, the sleeves are picked up from around armholes and worked in the round to the cuffs. Sleeve instructions are written to use DPNs, however an alternate method of working small circumferences can be used, such as Magic-Loop.
