Notes
The Mariposa Sweater is knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up with waist shaping (indicated by the Decrease and Increase rounds) and neck shaping for a better fit. The Sleeve Cast off and Cast on is an innovative way to create sleeves while continuing to knit in the round. The Sleeve edges are picked up and knit, and then cast off for a neater appearance. The tee offers two necklines, a Scoop Neck and a High Neck. Mariposa Tee KAL Part 1 YouTube Video: http://youtu.be/EPW_9qRvu1l
