Olives
Olives starts with casting on for the lower hem. The body is worked seamlessly in the round to the underarms, where it is split into front and back sections to be worked back and forth. Short rows are used to create shaping at the shoulders and neck and then the shoulders are connected front to back with a three-needle bind-off.
Sleeve stitches are picked up and knit from around the armhole and are knit seamlessly in the round to a decorative “mistake” ribbing cuff to match the lower hem.
