Rima Sweater

The Rima Sweater is knitted by starting at the back from the top down to the base of the armholes. Then, both fronts are picked up and knitted separately, working from the top down to the edge of the front neck. After joining both pieces, the front is worked to the armhole, and then the front and back are joined and knitted in the round down to the hem. Pick up and knit for the sleeves and neckband.
