Hints and tips: Carry the yarn at the back of your work, making sure not to pucker the fabric, if the yarn is carried over more than 4 sts, you can always just catch the strand every 4/5 sts. There are many tutorials online which show you how to do this.
At some points in the pattern, there are different options (eg. the sleeves) which you can take, these are only suggestions, feel free to improvise on these parts if needed!
