Love Vento is knitted in the round, from the bottom up . You cast on all the stitches at the start and begin knitting the stripes without increases : 4 rows with Vira Vento , 2 rows with Bio Love.
This pattern is repeated until it is time to separate the sleeves from the body. At that point , a few increases are made to form small sleeves, and then the front and back are worked separately, back and forth . Upon reaching the shoulders, simply bind off the stitches and sew the shoulders together.
