Cerise Sweater by Joanna Filip

Construction
The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down in the Eyelet Stitch Pattern. It begins with the back, followed by each shoulder. Once the front and back are joined, the body is worked in the round and the hem is finished with a 1 x 1 Rib. Then the sleeves are knitted in the round, ending with cuffs in 1 x 1 Rib. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neckline to work the ribbed neckband. All sts are bound off using the Tubular BO method. Note! Use 2 strands of yarn held together throughout the pattern.
