Stella is an simple stockinette stitch sweater with stripes (if you want). It is worked from botton up - first in rounds up to the beginning of the armholes, then in rows up to shoulder.

After sewing the shoulder seams the set-in sleeves are worked in rounds directly from the armholes top down. The sleeve caps are formed by working in German short rows - this technique is explained in the pattern. Furthermore I included a link to a video where the technique for German short rows is shown.
