Construction
First you work the top of the back section across the angled shoulders and a little bit of the back. Then, you pick up stitches for the front section along the angled shoulders on the back piece. Each shoulder is worked separately to leave an opening for the neck. The front section angled shoulders are shaped with short rows. Then you pick up sts for the top of the puff sleeve and then the front section, the back section and the sleeves are worked simultaneously in the round until the bottom of the arm hole. Then the body and sleeves are worked one at a time. To finish, stitches are picked up around the neckline to make the neck band.
