Beginning with a tubular cast on, this sweater is knit from the bottom up. The sleeves and neck rib are grown on to allow for more opportunities to check your fit. The pattern is written with the sweater pattern separate from the eyes pattern so that you may use the sweater pattern as a base for any other color work or solid mock necksweater.
