PATTERN NOTES
This sweater is knit from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round and the front and back are separated at the underarm. The sleeves are knit flat, separately, and seamed to the body. Stitches for the neckband are picked up and knit in the round.

When working the Stripe Sequence patt in the Body, do not break yarn at the end of each stripe. Instead, carry the yarn up the inside of the work and twist the strands of yarn around one another every color change to prevent holes.
