Pattern Notes:

  • Work increases and decreases at armholes, neck, and on pockets three stitches inside the edges to create a fully fashioned detail. Work the decreases through the back of loops as directed in book.
  • As row edges of fronts form actual finished edge of garment, it is important that all new balls of yarn are joined in at side seam or armhole edges of rows.
