Anatomy of a Salish Sweater
This pattern is
available from shop.longthreadmedia.com

Adapted from Salish Indian Sweaters: A Pacific Northwest Tradition, by Priscilla A. Gibson-Roberts. Minneapolis: Dos Tejedoras Fiber Arts Publications, 1989.
From PieceWork magazine:
Salish sweaters are knitted in the round, from the bottom up. The work is divided at the underarms and the upper fronts and back worked flat. The shoulders are joined and sleeve stitches picked up around the armhole and worked down to the cuffs. This method is much the same as that used in most folk sweaters from around the world, but the robust handspun yarns and strong motifs make Salish sweaters distinctive.
