COMMA V-NECK is a feminine, oversized sweater with an elegant cable and pointelle pattern. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. First the neckline for the back of the neck is worked, and then the back yoke. After this, stitches are picked up and knitted along the shoulders for the two sides of the front. The back and front are joined at the bottom of the armholes, and the body is worked in the round until the stitches are divided for the front and back once again to form the side slits. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round.
