Pattern Notes:
This garment uses unit construction, which means each piece is finished as much as possible (bands, seams, etc.) before moving on to the next major piece. This eliminates much of the finishing work at the end – something many knitters dislike.
Circular needles are used to accommodate large number of sts. Do not join, work in rows.
