ADDITIONAL NOTES
This piece is knit from the top-down, with sleeves being knit onto the body after the fact.

Because of the long color repeats in some areas of the chart (17 sts at the longest), locking your floats is a very useful method to limit how many strands you will see on the wrong side of your work.

You can choose to lock your floats after every other stitch, or every 5 stitches, whatever works for you! I locked mine between every 2 or 3 stitches of the same color.
