Construction
Worked in one piece from the top down with neckline shaping. The neckline is shaped using short rows that are worked after the neckband. The shoulder is formed with increases on every row. When these are worked, the work is divided, and the front and back pieces are worked one at a time until the under arm. Then, the pieces are joined and worked in the round.
