First, the 2 shoulders of the front piece are knitted, increases are made for the neck and the two shoulder pieces are joined, after which the front piece is knitted down to the armhole and joined with the back piece. The body is knitted in the round and then the hood is knitted, which is shaped with reverse knitting needles and finished with a drawstring and cord in the front.
Finally, the sleeves are knitted by picking up stitches along the body. The sleeves are finished with a drawstring and cord, which makes it possible to adjust the width of the wrist.
