Construction notes
The sweater is worked with two strands of yarn. The sweater is worked from the top down. The shape of the neck is formed with German Short Rows. At the same time the saddle shoulder is shaped with increases at each row. After increasing for the shoulders, you make increases for the sleeves, then work body and sleeves separately. Stitches are picked up for the neckband along the neck opening and the neckband is worked in rib. The length is measured at the centre-back, not including the neckband.
