This pattern provides instructions for knitting a sweater from the bottom up in seed stitch. The body, sleeves, and yoke are constructed separately and joined together.

The body is knit in seed stitch from the cast on edge. Stitches are increased initially and then knit evenly until the desired length is reached. Underarm stitches are then bound off to divide the front and back sections.

The sleeves are knit flat from the cast on edge in ribbing, then seed stitch. Increases are made regularly until the desired sleeve width is reached. Stitches are then bound off at the underarm.
