Construction notes:

This comfy boxy sweater is knitted top down seamlessly. You begin at the shoulder line, working the upper front and back sections flat, using short row shaping for an improved fit. The front and back are then joined and the remainder of the body is worked in the round by following the charted Sandhills pattern at the end. This is then followed by a section of stockinette stitch and finally a ribbed hem. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole and then the sleeves are knitted in the round top down. Last, an i-cord edging is added to the neckline, giving it an elegant trim.
