Pattern Notes
Knit from the bottom up in one piece to the armholes, then the fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulders. Shoulders are seamed using 3-needle bind-off. Short rows are used to shape the shoulder slope. Set in sleeves are picked up and worked down from the armholes, using short-rows to shape sleeve cap.
