Notes
1. Body of sweater is made from two identical pieces: Front and back.
2. Each piece is made from a body square. Side edging is worked across sides of body square and front and back are joined while working last row of back side edging.
3. Shoulders are worked across top edge of front and back and joined while working last row of back shoulders.
4. Skirting is worked around lower edge of joined front and back.
5. Sleeves are worked directly from armholes.
6. When instructed to work into a stitch or space “2 rounds below”, work into the round numbered 2 less than the current round. For example, if you are working Round 5, a stitch “2 rounds below” is in Round 5 – 2 = Round 3.
7. When instructed to work in a dc-Vst, sc-Vst, or shell, work into the ch-3 space of that stitch.
