CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The sweater is knitted using circular needles from the bottom up to the armholes. From here, you can continue to knit with a circular needle. If doing this, then the armholes and neckline would have to be securely reinforced later with sewing machine stitches and then cut open. Or, the knitting can continue from the armholes back and forth in pattern. The shoulders are joined together later. The stitches for the Sleeves can be picked up along the armhole edge or the Sleeves can be knitted separate­ly and then sewn in. Finally, work stitches along the neckline edge to make a collar of desired length. Then, the collar is turned inwards and sewn into place to cover the neckline edge.

MEASUREMENTS
The following sizes are knitted with one strand of Alpaca 3 and 2 strands of Highland:
