This is all straight Stockinette knitting, so all you need to be concerned about are thecircles. Our sample shows 4 full circles and 2 half circles competed at the sleeve shaping. When youdo the half circle, just fold the graph in half, vertically, and follow the graph from the outer edge of thesweater front.
