The Liv Sweater is worked top-down in stockinette stitch, beginning with the left and right back sections, which are shaped using German short rows. Stitches are then cast on for the neck, and the back sections are joined to work the back as a single piece. Stitches are picked up to work the left and right fronts, which are worked separately with neckline increases before being joined to continue the front as one piece. Once the front and back are complete, stitches are picked up for the underarms, and the body is worked in the round down to the hem. The hem is finished back and forth to create a diagonal slit, which is edged with an i-cord for a clean finish. The sleeve stitches are picked up and worked in the round, and the neckline is finished with 1x1 ribbing.
