To be continued is a striped pullover with a cute little slipped stitch pattern at the bottom that refers to the buttons at the shoulder. It has double knit hems and little pockets. It can be made as a summery tee without sleeves in linen or coton blends or with ‘elbow’ sleeves for a mid season pullover.

Starting with a provisional cast on, the back is first worked bottom up and back and forth. Stitches are left on hold for the back neck and new stitches are cast on for the front neck. The front is worked top down. When reaching the armpits the body is worked further down in the round. It is finished with pockets and double knit hems. A tutorial to cover the buttons with knitted fabric to refer to the dots of the slipped stitch pattern is included as well as a lot of schematics and illustrations of all techniques used.
The sleeves are worked top down and finished with a double knit cuff.
