Assembly of the sweater
Fold the sleeve of your sweater in half. Line up the center of the sleeve with the bottom of the neckline/head hole. Open the sleeve, being sure to keep the center aligned with the bottom of the opening for the head, and mattress stitch along the entirety of the sleeve.

Do this for both sleeves.

When finished, fold the sweater in half, being sure to line up the colors. Mattress stitch up the sides of the sweater (I changed colors with the stripes so you wouldn’t see the seam as well) and along the bottom of the sleeves.

Weave in your ends, turn the sweater right side out, and you’re finished!
