Cowgirl is a comfortable sweater, knitted seamlessly, top-down. You start knitting the yoke for the back then fronts are picked on the bottom from shoulders and formed with shorts rows. Then, the body (back and front) is worked in the round with a set of decreases to slightly tighten the bottom of the sweater. You will finish with the sleeves also worked in round using magic-loop or DPN.
