Pattern Information

You start by working the two bottom edges of the body back and forth, before joining work on one needle and continuing in the round up to the underarms. Here, work is divided and front and back are finished separately working back and forth. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves which are then worked in the round from the top down. Ribbed edges that mirror the bottom hem finish both the neckline and sleeves.
