The body is worked in the round from the bottom up to the underarm. The back and front are divided, and worked separately. The shoulders are joined with a 3-needle bind off then the sleeves are picked up and worked down to the wrist.

Body length can be adjusted by adding or subtracting length before beginning the patterned panels, if adding length be sure to purchase additional yarn.
