The body and sleeves are knit separately from the bottom up on circular or double pointed needles, in the round. At the armpits the pieces are joined together and the yoke is knit according to chart A. Switch to shorter needles and finally double pointed needles (DPNs) as the work progresses. Finally the armpits are grafted closed and the sweater is blocked.

THE CABLED RIBBING can be replaced, when desired, with a knit 1 through the back loop, knit 1, purl 1 ribbing! Check for possible increases, but it will fit the count for the design.

GAUGE
10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in, 13 sts using 6.00 mm / US 10 needles.
