Details

Construction
“It is worked from the top down, with steeked openings at the neckline and armholes. The steek stitches are used to allow the colorwork to be worked in the round. After cutting the steek stitches to create the openings, pick up stitches for the ribbing at the neckline and armholes, one stitch and one row at a time, then bind off.” — Hannah Kim
