Once the neck depth is achieved, the rest is worked in the round. Make sure to read the instructions thoroughly to the end of each section, as you will need to increase the front neck, body, and sleeves simultaneously. Stitches are picked up at the end to work the neckband. You can adjust the length of the body and sleeves as required, bearing in mind that you should also adjust the amount of yarn required to make the sweater.
