This sweater is worked from the top down in separate pieces and seamed at the end. Begin by knitting the front and back. Both pieces start at the neckline with 1×1 ribbing and a few short rows to shape the shoulders. Then continue in lace stitch and finish with a 1×1 rib hem. Once both pieces are complete, seam the shoulders. Pick up stitches along the selvedge to work the sleeves from the top down, from shoulder to cuff. Finally, seam the sides and sleeves.
