Construction notes:
This boxy sweater is knitted bottom up seamlessly in the round to the underarm where the work is then divided to work the front and back sections flat. The sleeves are also knitted bottom up seamlessly in the round to the underarm to then be attached to the divided section (armholes) of the garment body. The ribbed neckline is picked up last.
