The shawl collar is seamed to the body and the hem is knit in Seeded Rib stitch using the intarsia method to continue working in colours established for body and button bands.
Stitches are picked up along armholes for the sleeves; sleeve caps are shaped with short rows, then worked to the cuff in the round in St st inside out to avoid purling.
