Truue Bluue is a bottom-up flat-knit jumper. It is knit in 4 pieces, sewn together with the last step of the neck ribbing. It begins with a 3x2 rib hem on the bottom of each piece and then goes into a stockinette stitch. Slight decreases in the shape of the armhole on the body. The same process will be applied to the neckline. This pattern does not require you to turn in your work.
