Montreal
Montreal is a twisted ribbed - hip length pullover sweater. It has long sleeves (just below wrist); and a yoked hood that is buttoned close. The three buttons / buttonholes are positioned on the yoke: under the chin, at the collar bone, and approximately at the jugular notch.
The twisted rib pattern is consistent throughout the body & sleeves. Except for the initial ribbing sections of the body and sleeves; and the yoke and hood.
The pattern is knit in pieces from the bottom up; and seamed.
