Construction

Pattern is constructed top-down, beginning with the upper back panel. Stitches are picked up to add front left and front right shoulders. Front shoulders are joined with fhdc stitches and the rest of the front panel is worked. Stitches are once again picked up on the back panel to complete the two sides of the back panel. Front and back panels are then joined and worked in rows to finish the body. Neckband and arm edging/sleeves are added at the end.
