  CONSTRUCTION

  • The Front and Back are worked flat, separately, from the bottom up in the same manner. Stitches are cast on for Front in C1 and the ribbed hem is worked using smaller needle.
  • After completion of hem, larger needle is used to begin working Slip Mountain Pattern and side garter bands with C1 and C2. As lower body is worked, waist decreases are incorporated to gently shape the garment’s A-line silhouette.
  • At the underarm point, markers are placed at either edge of fabric to indicate position of underarm, then work continues flat. Armhole shaping will vary for each size, with some sizes working only increases, some sizes working underarm bind offs and decreases, and some sizes working all three.
  • Shoulders are then shaped using a sloped bind off. While working this section, the neckline shaping will begin with binding off stitches for center front neck, then shaping the neckline curve with decreases. After dividing for the neck, the remainder of the upper body will be worked from a separate ball of each color per side, as you finish the upper body.
  • Back piece is worked the same way, mirroring armhole and shoulder slopes. The Back neckline shaping occurs only within the final inch of the fabric, starting with a bind off for center back neck, followed by a few rows of decrease shaping to improve the fit of the neckline and collar.
  • After completion of the Front and Back, the pieces are seamed together at the shoulders.
  • Sleeves are worked flat, separately, from the bottom up in the same manner. Stitches are cast on for each sleeve in C1 and the ribbed cuff is worked using smaller needle. After completion of cuff, larger needle is used to begin working Slip Mountain Pattern and side garter bands with C1 and C2. When desired sleeve length is achieved, sleeve stitches are bound off and sewn to the garment body, between removable markers on Front and Back body panels. The second sleeve is repeated exactly on the opposite side of the garment.
  • After sleeves are seamed to the body, the garment resembles a plus (+) shape when viewed from above. The garment is folded in half along the foldline so that edges align with each other. Beginning from the underarm and working out towards hem/ cuff in two sections, the sides of the garment are seamed to finish garment construction.
  • With smaller circular needle and C1, stitches are picked up from the neck opening and work is joined into the round. The neckband is worked in 2x1 ribbing in either a single or double layer . If working a single-layer neckband, stitches are bound off after desired length is achieved. If working doubled collar, it is worked to twice the target length of the finished neckband. The neckband is folded in half towards the inside of the garment and live stitches are tacked down to the base of the neckband on the WS using a tapestry needle.
