• After that, you pick up stitches from the cast-on edges of your shoulder straps and work the upper back part flat to the armholes.
• Then you join in the round, cast on new stitches for underarms and continue working in the round to your desired length.

• basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease)
