The body is knit in the round from the bottom up to the underarms where the back and front are divided and knit separately to the shoulders. The shoulders are seamed. The sleeves are worked in the round to the cap shaping then worked back and forth in rows. The sleeve caps are sewn into the armholes. Cowl stitches are picked up around the neckline, then the back strip is knit and sewn into place.

The Circular Tubular Cast-on Method is used, with a link included to a photo tutorial.
