CONSTRUCTION

• The yoke of this sweater is worked circularly from the top down to the end of the shoulders with a saddle shoulder construction; stitches are increased for the shoulders along both edges of the saddles.
• The back neck is shaped using short rows.
• Once the shoulder shaping is complete, the front and back are worked flat separately to the hem, then sewn together at the sides from the hem to the base of the armholes.
• Stitches are picked up from the armholes for the sleeve and worked in the round along with the held saddle stitches to the cuff. A few short rows are worked at the beginning of the sleeve to shape its cap.
• Knitted I-Cords are worked separately and then threaded into eyelets on the front of the sweater to form the braid detail.
