NOTES

Sweater is knitted from the top down. Yoke is knitted first, then front and back are worked down in one piece to hem after sleeve stitches are set aside. Sleeves are knitted down in the round. Lastly, stitches for neckband and button bands are picked up directly from body and worked back and forth. The sleeves can be knitted using the magic loop method, or using DPNs.
