From The Knitter:

“Todd Gocken likes to create knitting patterns that require minimum sewing up, and this striped jumper for men is elegant in its simplicity. Both the sleeves and body are worked in the round, and then joined at the yoke, with some stitches held at underarms for grafting later. Decreases are then worked which mimic the effect of a set in sleeve. Todd has chosen to use that perennial favourite, Rowan Felted Tweed, with heritage shades that work so beautifully in this kind of garment.”
