  4. The lower portion of each Front is worked separately, then sewn to the Front.
  5. The Sleeves are worked in sections.
  6. The Sleeve bands are worked separately, then sewn to lower edge of the Sleeves.
  7. Sts for neckband are picked up around neck and front band edges.
  8. To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops to complete the st. Fasten off old color.
  9. End with a WS row means that the last row you work should be a WS row, and the next row that you are ready to work will be a RS row.
