Worthy of Note
Pink Lemonade is worked flat in pieces. The front and back begin with a folded hem, and the back is designed to be longer than the front.

The sleeves are shaped with increases and a slipped stitch pattern finishes the edge as you knit.

The neckband is picked up and worked after the shoulders are seamed.
