Modern Daily Knitting Field Guide No. 18: Beginnings is the start of all sorts of new fun!

Knitting in the round is a marvelous way to create garments with virtually no finishing required. This gorgeous spiral at the yoke, made of nothing more than knit and purl stitches, is a fascinating thing to watch as it spins itself into existence.

Notes
— This pullover is worked from the bottom up in the round in one piece. The sleeves are worked first to the armhole and placed on hold while the body is worked to the armhole. The body and sleeves are then joined to create the yoke, which is worked in the round to the neck. The only finishing is the underarm seams.
