Construction

Strips of garter stitch, no wider than 26 sts are worked from bottom up. Each strip is attached to the adjacent strip as it’s worked, with the final strip joining along both edges to make a cylinder. Shoulders are joined with three-needle bind off. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole and worked top down with a small amount of short rows for the cap. Stitches are picked up around the hem and neckline to work the garter stitch edging.
