WORKFLOW: Please read the pattern throughout before casting on.

Pravi is knitted top down. You will start by knitting the back piece into the shape of a rectangle. You will then knit both shoulders, from which the stitches are picked up from the cast on edge of the back piece. Once the front reaches the underarm, you will join the front and back, and knit the rest of the sweater in the round to desired length. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the armholes and the sleeves knitted in the round. The edges of the garment are finished with a beautiful edging.

PLEASE REMEMBER that the finishing wash and block are important parts of the process of knitting a garment. The size is final only after the wash and block.
