Chuck Sweater - HABFC

This sweater is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. The neckline is shaped with a few short rows for a more comfortable fit.

Once the yoke is completed, stitches are put on hold for the sleeves, then the body of the sweater is knit in the round, and features a chevron motif with twisted stitches. The sleeves are worked in the round.

Please note: there is no chart in this pattern. The instructions for the chevron motif are written only.
