The sweater is worked top-down. Stitches are picked up from the narrow strips of rib for the saddle shoulders. First work the back, then work the front downward to the base of the armholes back and forth.
Then joining front and back, the rest of the body is worked in the round with side decreases downward for a slightly tapered fit. When working the sleeves, stitches are picked up along the armholes. In addition, the sleeve caps are formed working short rows, and the sleeves are worked in the round from the armholes to the cuffs with decreases along the way.
Finally, the turtleneck is worked back and forth from picked-up stitches along the neck opening, adding more buttonholes at the front edge along the way.

Wool is naturally stain and odour resistant and requires less washing than many fibres.
Airing wool garments outside in damp weather can often refresh them and remove odours.
However, when it is time to wash wool garments, here is how we recommend you do it.

DETERGENT / SOAP
Use mild or neutral detergents with a relatively neutral pH level, preferably those marked wool.
Avoid heavy-duty detergents and those containing enzymes or bleaches.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
By hand: Ensure the water temperature is steady, lukewarm or around 28°C/82°F.
Add a small amount of gentle detergent, submerge your wool garment, and soak it until completely saturated.
Rinse two to three times in clean water and ensure the same temperature. If using no-rinse detergent,
skip the rinsing steps. Press the water out of the garment, then roll the garment between clean, dry towels with light pressure. Alternatively, place the garment in a washing bag and gently spin it in the washing machine.
By machine: Use a washing machine with a wool setting and a gentle cycle.

DRYING INSTRUCTIONS
Lay the garment flat on a clean towel and reshape it as needed.
Leave to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
