Pattern Notes:
This pattern is worked from the top down. Back is worked to the underarm and then front is worked from the shoulders. At the underarm back and front are joined and body is worked in one piece to hem. Sleeve stitches are picked up from the armhole and the set-in sleeves are worked top down. Gentle waist and hip shaping is achieved by changing hook size.
