NOTES
This project is worked seamlessly from the top down. The piece begins at the neck edge and is worked back and forth in rows to shape the neck, then the stitches are joined in the round across the base of the front neck. The raglan yoke is worked down to the underarms in the tick stitch pattern, and then the piece divides for working the lower body and above-the-wrist sleeves separately in the round, also in tick stitch. The neckband is added during finishing.
