Notes

The SNOWFLAKE pullover is knitted from the top down. First, knit the Back piece. Pick up and knit sts from Back shoulder line to knit the Left front piece, the Right front piece, and then join these two parts together to knit the Front. Join the Front piece and the Back piece together to knit the Lower body. Pick up stitches around the neck to create ribbing. Pick up stitches around the armholes to work the Sleeves.
