Lion Brand Notes:

Jacket is worked in one piece from neck to underarms, then piece is divided and sleeves and body are worked separately to lower edge.

Jacket yoke and body are worked back and forth in rows.

Sleeves are worked in the round, but turned every 2 rounds to match stitches on body.

Front bands and lower edging are worked once body and sleeves are complete. Neck trim is worked once front bands and lower edging are complete.
