PATTERN NOTES
The sweater is knit from the bottom up. The shoulders are joined using a three-needle bind-off. Sleeves are picked up and knit from the armhole using magic loop. The sweater is knit seamlessly except for the underarm seam.
The pattern is designed for 12 sizes. It is advised that you highlight all numbers relating to your size throughout before beginning. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes. When a zero is used, no stitches are worked for that size.
The stitch pattern is both written (Stitches Used) and charted (p 3) for your preference. The pattern directions begin on p 3.
