This recipe is a paper version.
The September Sweater is knitted from the top down in patent stitch. First, knit the back by casting on stitches up to the neck and knitting back and forth on the needle with increases on each side. Next, pick up stitches for the shoulders, which are knitted separately and then joined at the front to form the front piece. Below the armhole, the back and front pieces join to form the body, which is knitted in the round on circular needles. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, which are knitted in the round with decreases on a short circular needle. Finally, stitches are picked up at the neckline to knit the ribbed neckband. This is folded in half and knitted down. The September Sweater is thus assembly-free.
Make a swatch before you start to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge. Be aware that patent knit is difficult to measure as it is elastic, so measure all distances several times.
