The body is divided at the armhole point (meaning that it’s very easy to lengthen or shorten your project for personalisation) and then joined at the shoulders using the 3 needle bind off method. The sleeves are picked-up and knitted downwards in the round, starting with an eye-catching textured detail before resuming the therapeutic rhythm of stockinette stitch. The tex- tured neckband is also worked in the round, meaning that this is a seam-free / stress-free / cast-off-and- wear project!
