PATTERN INFORMATION

The sweater is knitted from the top down. The neckline is knitted with a special elastic cast-on technique, making it easy to pull over the head. The edges are finished with an Italian bind-off. There are two different charts included in the pattern, with instructions on which colors to use for the pink and blue versions.

The sweater is knitted from the top down. The neckline is knitted with a provisional cast on, in this case an eight-stitch cast-on, and then folded over and knitted together so it lies double. This cast-on technique makes the neckline very elastic and easy to pull over the head. The pattern is then knitted according to the chart. The body and sleeves are divided and knitted separately.
