Notes: Lucent is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. The pullover begins with a split hem, worked flat, then joined in the round for the body. The body is worked in the round to the underarm, then split for front and back to the shoulders, which are joined with a visible three-needle cast-off. Sleeves are picked up and worked down to the wrist.
