A front-to-back reversible boxy pullover worked in garter stitch, with graphic stripes worked in two different directions. The V-neck and hems are finished with tidy applied I-cord.

The horizontally striped side of the sweater is worked flat to the underarm, then divided for the front and back, while the sleeve is worked sideways from a provisional cast on.

The vertically striped side is picked up and worked toward the side of the body in two halves that are joined with a Three-needle bind off. This sleeve is worked in the round from the armhole to the cuff.
