Pumpkin Pie
Note:
In this pattern, I suggest you continue knitting from the back to the collar. There's no picking up stitches. This makes knitting a sweater much easier. But it also can result in a loosey-goosey neck. So, I'll understand if you prefer to work the collar in a more traditional method--pick up stitches or work the collar separately and then attach.
