    CONSTRUCTION

    • The front and back are alike and are worked separately. Two side inserts are made first and placed on hold. The center panel is then worked from the bottom up, first in a ribbed section, and then in Chain-link Pattern in the main pattern panel, while increasing. The ribbing stitches are then transferred to holders, and new stitches are cast on to continue the ribbings. At this point, the side inserts are incorporated into the piece. After joining, stitches are increased in the side inserts, and decreased in the main pattern panel, so that the stitch count remains the same and the top of the main pattern panel mirrors the bottom. The shoulders are shaped by binding off stitches. The neck shaping is a combination of binding off, decreasing, and the interior shaping created by where the shaping is placed within the piece. Miter inserts are worked where the ribbing stitches bordering the main pattern panel were held and then cast on again. This ensures that the piece will lie flat. A ribbing is worked on each side of the lower part of the front. The side inserts, which were worked first, are then sewn to the side of the miter inserts and the ribbing. The shoulder seams are sewn, and then the sleeve stitches are picked up and the sleeves are worked flat down to the cuffs.
