Pattern notes:
This pullover, with its unusual construction, is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round to the underarms, where the front and back are separated and worked back and forth. Stitches are cast on for the shoulder and the shoulders are worked back and forth in the lace pattern. More stitches are then picked up for the sleeves which are worked in the round, while continuing with the lace pattern.
