Helenium

Helenium is worked in the round from the bottom up, beginning with a provisional cast-on. First the Sleeves are worked to the underarm then placed on stitch holders. Next the Body is worked to the underarm. Then the Sleeves are joined to the Body and the Yoke is worked. After the sweater is complete, the live stitches of the cuff and hem are finished with an attached i-cord.
