NOTES
The fronts and back are worked separately from bottom up and joined at the shoulders. After the shoulders are seamed, the Garter Stitch collar is continued from live stitches. Button and buttonhole bands are worked in Seed Stitch while working each front piece. Buttons can continue on the collar at the same intervals. Buttons on the sample end at the neckline.
Tubular cast on and bind off techniques are used to create both symmetry and structure to the garment. There are different directions in Step 3 for each piece to set up the Seed and Rib stitches as mirror images.
Sleeves are worked flat and seamed into shoulders. The side seams begin at the hem, leaving a split, and sewn to the loose cuffs.
