Seaming:


Lay Back Panel and two Front Panels together at the

shoulders with RS facing each other. Using your

preferred seaming method attach front panels to

back panel.

Then using MC and size 4.5mm hook, evenly sc along

front and back panel edges (see arrows). Make sure

that the RS of the sweater is facing up. Work on sc in

each st of ribbings. Work 2 sc in each dc edge

adding a 3rd st every 3rd row. Approx. 192 sts.

Fasten off and weave in ends.


SEAMING & COLLAR


Attach the sleeves to the sides of thePullover, using your

preferred seaming method, making sure to align the

center of the sleeve with the shoulder seam. Make sure the

sleeves are attached evenly from the center shoulder

seam, down the sides. Using stitch markers to hold the

sleeve in place is recommended.


 

Fold Pullover so that the back and front panels are on top of

each other. Then seam the sleeves from the underarm to the

cuff. Seam the sides from the underarm down to the bottom.



Collar

With 4mm hook, attach MC yarn to right shoulder seam with

RS facing and ch 1.

Set up row

sc in same st as join and evenly across all row

edges and back neckline stitches. Work approx. 10 sts

along decrease rows on back panel and 26 sts along

decrease rows on front panel, work a sc3tog in center of vneck,

sl st to 1st st to join. (approx. 98 sts)

We will now be adding an applied ribbing to create the

collar.

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each st across, sl st

into next 2 sts of set up row making sure to be moving

toward the center v neck, turn. (4 sc)

Row 2: sk sl sts, sc BLO in each st across, ch 1, turn. (4 sc)

Row 3: sc BLO in each st across, sl st in next 2 sts of set up

row, turn. (4 sc)

Repeat Rows 2-3 until you hit the center v neck st.

Turn work so RS of collar and sweater are facing. Sl st the

current row of the collar to the next four set up row sts. Ch

1, work 4 sc into the row edges of the collar, ch 1 and turn.

Work a Row 3 repeat.

Then repeat Rows 2-3 until you reach the beginning of the

collar. With RS of collar facing, sl st ends together and

fasten off.


Weave in any remaining ends.
