Alive & Kicking is worked seamlessly from top to bottom in one piece. After the neckline, the neck is raised with shortened rows, followed by the yoke with increases and lace pattern. Next, the sleeves are cut off and the top is finished. Finally, the sleeves are picked up again and finished.
You can try the sweater on at any time - simply place some of the stitches on a piece of scrap yarn and slip into it.
