 The entire sweater is worked in pattern. Begin with the back, which is first worked back and forth with short rows at the neck to shape the shoulders. Then pick up sts along the left shoulder and shape the front on that side. Next do the same on the right front, just mirrored, and when the neckline shaping is finished, cast on sts at center front, join the work, and work in the round in pattern for the remainder of the body. Finish with a rib edge. The neckband is worked in rib pattern. Sts for the sleeves are picked up along the armhole edge, work pattern in the round, and finish with a rib edge.
