WORKFLOW
The body is worked in the round from the bottom up to the armholes, then divided and worked flat in rows to the shoulders. The sleeves are worked in the round to the armholes, then worked flat while the sleeve caps are shaped using Wrap & Turn (w&t) short rows. Finally, the sleeves are set in, and stitches for the ruffles are picked up along the neckline and the front stitch columns.
