CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The garment is knitted in pieces from top to bottom. Begin the Front with one shoulder and then knit the second shoulder piece. Stitches between the two shoulder pieces are introduced for the center section and then the Front is worked to the underarm. The Front is set aside and the Back is begun by picking up stitches along the shoulder pieces of the Front and the center section stitches of the Back are cast on. The Back is worked to the underarm. From here on, the Front and Back are joined and worked on a circular needle in the round until the garment reaches the desired length.
