Following a chart, the pullover is worked in the round to the underarms. Two steek bridges are added to enable the work to continue in the round, and a third steek is then added at the front neck, which is shaped with decreases. Once the body is complete, the shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind off and the three steeks are reinforced before being cut open. Two sleeves are picked up around the armscyes, and worked top down. When the neck edging is added, the pullover is complete. Note that steek stitches are not included in running stitch counts.
