Pattern Notes:
You will begin at the neckline, working from the top down in one piece. Though this pattern is knit in the round, you will begin working flat with the back/shoulders as you increase on each side of the front neckline. When the front neckline shaping is completed, you will join to work in the round and will continue in the round from there.
