CONSTRUCTION

• The sleeves are worked in the round. The body is begun with two hem edgings (worked flat), and then joined into a round, then work continues in the round. On the body, stitches are cast on for steeks at the armholes and front neck so that work may continue in the round. The sleeves are sewn into the armholes. The hood is picked up and knit from the neck edge. It is short- rowed to fit the front neck edges.
