The sweater is worked back and forth in separate pieces and seamed. The collar is worked in the round.

The shape of this design creates a very roomy bust. Choose your size based on your hip measurement.

A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.

When counting stitches, count each slipped stitch and its companion yarnover as one stitch.

When counting rows, each visible stitch in a column represents two rows worked: one row in which the stitch was worked as brk and the following row when it was slipped with its companion yarnover.
