PATTERN NOTES

Body is worked in one piece from the bottom up to the underarms, then divided for fronts and back. Sleeves are worked flat.

The 4 front edge stitches are double-knit throughout for a closed edge.

When shaping in lace pats, if you can’t work both the yarn over and its accompanying decrease, work in stockinette stitch instead.
