EXPERIENCE
This is an adventurous beginner/intermediate level knit. Knitters should be comfortable with increasing and decreasing and picking up stitches. Many video tutorials are available to help newer knitters from sizing to demonstrating both separating sleeves from body and the cable cast-on and more. Swift increasing takes places at the top of the Sleeves and and an i-cord is used in combination with the neckline bind-off to create the back buttonhole. Instructions for i-cord bind-off, optional Tubular Hems (shown on sample) & replacing provisional cast-on with standard cast-on are provided.
