NOTES

• Duster is worked from bottom up in one piece to armholes, then fronts and back are finished separately. Front bands are worked as you go. Shoulders are seamed and collar is worked around neck opening.

• Stitch pattern is reversible (looks good on RS and WS). Sample has been photographed with WS showing.
