Construction Details:
To keep the structure of the sweater, the body of the sweater is worked in separate pieces from the bottom towards the shoulders. After the body pieces are worked, the shoulders are seamed and stitches are picked up for each sleeve. Sleeves are worked towards the cuffs. Sides and sleeves are then seamed, and the front edging is picked up and worked.
