    CONSTRUCTION

    • The back and sleeves are worked flat from the bottom up, in Color 1 only. The fronts are worked from side to side in Color 2, beginning at the center front edge and ending at the side seam edge. The fronts are shaped with short rows and feature a contrasting Color 1 stripe. The pieces are blocked, then sewn together. The fronts extend over the wearer’s shoulder to the back. The sleeves are sewn between marked points on the fronts and back.
