This recipe is a paper version.
The Chestnut Sweater is worked from the top down. First the upper back is worked back and forth, shaping the slope of the shoulders with short rows for a good fit. Then the shoulders are worked separately back and forth on circular needles. These are joined at the front to form the front. The front and back are then joined to form the body, which is worked in the round on circular needles. The sleeves are worked from picked up sts along the sleeve opening and worked in the round on circular needles and double pointed needles or Magic Loop technique. The neck turtleneck is finally worked in rib from picked up stitches.
