The garment is worked top down by knitting the front and back pieces individually. Seed-stitch panels down either side of the garment are worked separately. A back-opening is shaped by working Increases and decreases along the back selvedge edges. Nodules are worked throughout the garment and contrasting colour stripes run through each nodule and all the way around the garment. Finally all pieces are sewn together and edges finished around the neck, arms and back-opening by picking up stitches and working a 2-colour twisted rib. Charts and video links are included within the pattern.
