Notes
Slip stitches
At the start of each row, when working flat either after dividing for the neck, or working the entire jumper flat, slipping a stitch makes it easier to sew up, as well as facilitating picking up stitches later on for the neckline or sleeves.
Side stitches
1 and 1 fair isle also looks good, if you don’t want a solid colour stripes at each side. This is what I did for my demo
