• Pattern is worked in the round from the bottom up.
• After splitting the front into left and right neck and shoulder, each side is worked separately, at the same time, using two balls of yarn. You can work them separately one at a time if you wish, following the instructions for each side marked RN and LN (see note in pattern).
