The sweater is worked using the domino knitting technique. The diamond domino construction means that the armholes are placed low. The design is worked in two identical sections. The sections are sewn together at the shoulders as well as under the sleeves and along the side seams. After this, half diamonds are worked to create the straight edges at the hem. At the end, rib edges are worked along the neck edge, hem and bottom of the sleeves.
