Construction Note
Worked top down. First the top of the back is worked with angled shoulders down to the bottom of the armhole. Then sts are picked up from the back to form the front. The neckline is shaped and the front is worked down to the bottom of the armhole. The two pieces are then joined and finished with a circular needle. Then stitches are picked up around the armhole and the sleeves are worked in the round. To finish, stitches are picked up around the neck to make a neck band.
