Helices Sweater is worked in the round and top down. The rib neckband is folded down to the yoke and leads neatly into a cable pattern that is worked from simple chart repeats. Short rows shape the yoke for a good fit before the body and sleeve stitches are worked separately in stockinette stitch with rib to finish.
