CONSTRUCTION NOTES:

The front and back of Chevy Folk are knit in pieces, flat. Short rows are worked over the ribbing to shape the shoulders. Shoulders are seamed using the 3-needle bind off and the sides are seamed leaving space for the armholes. The sleeves are picked up and worked outward from the body in the round.
