LiNA by ankestrick

LiNA is worked seamlessly from the top down. The neck is shaped with short rows and then you work the yoke with increases for the body and sleeves down to sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm sts are cast on, and you continue to work the body to the bottom. After the body is completed, the sleeve sts are picked up again to work the sleeves top down in the round to the end. The neck finishing is worked last.
