CONSTRUCTION: Knit from the top down, the upper back is worked first, with stitches for the fronts picked up from the cast on edge. Increases form the V-neck, and fronts and back are joined to knit in the round.  Decreases shape the sleeve caps, and the body is worked to the lace and ribbing hem. Stitches are picked up for the neck and sleeve edges and finished with the same ribbing.
