CONSTRUCTION

• The body is worked as a single piece (flat) from hem to underarm, then the underarm stitches are bound-off and the body is set aside while the sleeves are worked. Once the sleeves are complete, the fronts, sleeves, and back are joined and worked as one piece to the shoulders.
• The sleeves are worked circularly from the cuff to the underarms. Once the ribbing is complete, you will turn the sleeve inside out so that you can work the body of the sleeve in stockinette stitch (knit every round) until the beginning of the yoke. Once you have bound off the stitches for the underarm, you will turn the sleeve inside-out once again, so that the purl side is facing while you work the yoke.
