Pattern Notes:

This sweater is knit flat, in one piece starting at the front with a provisional cast-on to allow a similar finishing for both hem ribbings. First the lower front body is worked up to the beginning of the split for the v-neck, then sides are worked separately over the shoulders to the back where they will rejoin to work the lower back body in one piece. Sleeves are cast-on and bound off on the same rows as the v-neck split/join and shaped with short-rows. Side and sleeve seams are finished from the right side for a decorative accent.

For the short rows, the German/double stitches method is given; however, any short row method (as the Wrap & Turn) (https://www.ilikeknitting.com/magazine/knitting-articles-and-interviews/short-rows-tutorial/) can also be used.

Left and right sides refer to how the garment is worn on the body.
