Notes: Moonbow is knitted in pieces and sewn after knitting and blocking. The front and back pieces are knitted from the bottom up including the hem. Sleeves are worked sideways from the sleeve cuff towards the centre back/front leaving an opening for the head. The two sets of live stitches are then joined using Kitchener stitch before sewing the sleeve and side seams and the seams that join sleeves and body. The fringe on the front piece is added as you go. The neckband is picked up and knitted after all pieces are joined.
