Techniques used: Judy’s magic cast-on, German short rows, tubular bind-off.

Notes: Work starts with the back, the shoulders are shaped using German short rows and then worked straight down to the underarm. Stitches for the front bodice are picked up along the back shoulders and worked down to the underarm, using the same German short rows. When the left and right parts of the front bodice have been worked, the back and front are joined together and work continues flat till the lover part of the sweater, where the left front part gets covered over part of the right side. Then stitches are decreased and work gets joined in the round.
Sleeves are picked up around the armholes, and they are worked straight to the cuff part, where sleeve stitches are decreased and the cuff in 1x1 ribbing is worked.
