Construction

Pullover begins at the bottom hem in the round and is separated at the lower armholes for working the upper body pieces separately. Once the shoulders are joined with a saddle, the sleeves are picked up and knit to the cuff in the round. Then the hood is picked up at the neck and worked as one piece, making this a seamless sweater.
