CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
This yoked sweater is knitted bottom up, seamlessly in the round to the underarm where the work is then divided for back and front and put on hold. Sleeves are then worked flat to the underarm and are joined with front and back to work yoke seamlessly in the round. After joining front, back and sleeves, the eyelet pattern panels are set at each arm and worked throughout the yoke. The neckline trimming is picked up last, folded over and sewn to the inside around the neck.
