Notes:
This design is knit bottom-up, in the round. After separating for the sleeves, the shoulders are seamed using three-needle BO.
The neck and sleeves are picked up and knitted in the round. This pullover may appear slightly cropped in the photos of me wearing it and that is due to my height (5’9”).
