Construction and skill level
The back and front are knitted flat from the lower edge with integrated garter borders and gradual increases. The front divides for the neck, then the collar and hood are worked from held stitches. The hood is seamed at the back and joined to the neckline; side seams are left open at the top for armholes. An intermediate project with shaping, held stitches, joining and careful printed-yarn management.
