Birthe Sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up. All colourwork sections are worked in the round. First, the body is worked. Stitches are bound off at the armholes, and steek stitches are cast on on the following round. The shoulders are then joined, and the steeks are sewn and cut open. Finally, stitches are picked up and knit along the armholes, and the sleeves are worked in the round from the top down.

The pattern includes colour suggestions for 7 different colour combinations.
