Construction Notes
-
The pullover is worked from side to side in 2 pieces: first, the left sleeve, left front and back are worked as one piece; second, the right sleeve, right front and back are worked as one piece as well. Then live stitches of each front and back are grafted. Live stitches of sides are grafted to create the side “seams”, then sleeve seams are worked.
-
I-cord is used for finishing the cuffs, neckline and hem.
