CONSTRUCTION & FIT NOTES

• This pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down with short rows at the base of the neckband to shape the back neck. The body and sleeves are divided at the underarms and worked separately. The body is worked circularly to the top of the hem ribbing and then divided; the back and front are worked flat to create hi-lo side vents. The sleeves are worked circularly to the cuffs. 
• Designed for a cropped fit, body length can be worked to desired length (note that lengthening will require additional yardage); see Schematic for dimensions.
