The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down, partly in rows and partly in the round. It is worked in stockinette stitch, with 1×1 ribbing.
You begin by working the back of the sweater, shaping the sloping shoulders using German Short Rows. You then continue working the back until you reach the underarm. Next, the right and left front sections are worked in rows, while simultaneously shaping the neckline. The two sections are then joined, and the front is worked until you reach the underarm.
The front and back are then joined and worked in the round until you reach the ribbing.
The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round, with decreases worked simultaneously to shape them. The collar is then picked up and and worked in the round in 1×1 rib.
