PATTERN NOTES
Make every 8th V using B, or randomly if you prefer, regardless of what round it is. Use the “knit on” cast on method throughout this project. There are many times that stitches are cast on in the middle of a row or the end of a row.
The sweater begins with a row of mitered V’s at the hem. The next row of V’s is picked up and knit along the top edges of the previous row. The sweater is worked in the round up to the underarms, then divided. Triangles are worked to fill in the spaces along the armhole and neck edges.

on edges pointed down.
