Notes

The sweater is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up starting with 2 x 2 ribbing, followed by stockinette stitch. The armholes and necklines are shaped by simple decreases and binding off stitches. The sweater pieces are blocked and seamed together using the 3-Needle Bind Off Method and Mattress Stitch.  To finish, the ribbed turtleneck is worked in the round from picked up stitches around the neckline, and stitches are picked up and bound off around each armhole to create a clean edge. Maintain a 1-stitch selvedge at edges of flat pieces throughout, as instructed within {brackets}.
