The Mozart pullover is knitted from the top down, starting at the back and worked to the base of the armholes. Then, the front shoulders are picked up and knitted separately, working from the top down to the edge of the front neck. After joining both front sections, the front is worked to the armhole. Then the front and back are joined and knitted in the round down to the hem. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round. Finally, the collar stitches are picked up and worked outwards from the body in the round.

Note that the yarn used for the sample is discontinued. Similar yarns include Lavender Lune’s [Flocculent Worsted][1], Drops [Air][2], Cascade Yarns [Cantata][3] or Wandering Flock [Fluff][4]. Any worsted weight yarn that creates a fabric you like and allows you to meet the gauge requirements may be used, as well as yarns held together that make the appropriate weight. [Yarnsub.com][5] is an excellent resource for searching for replacement yarns as well.
