The Knitter

PATTERN NOTES

-

The front and back pieces are knitted separately using a lace stitch pattern of overlappin­g waves, and then joined at the shoulders with a three-needle cast-off. Stitches are picked up at the neck sides and from stitches held at the front and back; the neckband is finished with an i-cord cast-off. Stitches are picked up along the side from either side of the shoulder cast-off to knit the sleeves downwards, ending with a deep rib cuff.
