CONTRUCTION NOTES
The lower body and sleeves are worked separately in the round to the armholes, then the pieces are joined for working the yoke in the round to the neck edge.
The Body and Sleeves charts have a different number of stitches between the outermost edges of each cable and the slip-stitch columns that divide the cable sections. Be sure to work each reverse stockinette stitch the correct number of times for your size.
