Lion Brand Notes:

Sleeves are knit first, then the body of the coat is worked in one piece, beginning at the lower edge of the body. The sleeves and body are joined to work the yoke.

Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of stitches. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles.
