This is an exemplary design, very straightforward to knit, and a good introduction to circular knitting for those new to it. After working the moss stitch bottom ribbing back and forth, you join the work for knitting in the round (with two purl stitches for a steeked cutting field later) and carry on up-- always working two different colours of the Lite-Lopi together. Naturally you are free to combine these in any way you wish, with your own colourways or working in two strands of a solid colour throughout. Join in the sleeves at the yoke, and continue on up with the yoke decreases. Reinforce the purl stitches with machine stitching, cut, sew in zipper, and you're done. Grafting the underarms and sewing down the cord casing is almost the only finishing.
