CONSTRUCTION 
This sweater with a high 2 x 2 rib neck is worked from the top down, mostly in the round. First, the upper back is worked back and forth without any shaping. Then the stitches for shoulders are picked up along the top of the upper back. Short rows are worked for the shoulders for a better fit. Choose between two versions: a simpler plain knit in one color and another with intarsia.
