Notes: Cicely is worked in pieces then seamed for a
structured finish. The neckline at the front and back is
joined with only a couple of stitches at each shoulder,
but can be narrowed by seaming a wider section of the
shoulders.The sweater is designed to be close fitting and
cropped; the top of the ribbing should hit at or just above
the smallest part of your waist.
