Notes: Semitone is worked from the top down, beginning with the front and back shoulders worked flat separately in 3x1 ribbing. When all shoulder and neck shaping rows are complete, the front and back pieces are joined, two armhole steeks are added and the rest of the yoke is worked in the round. Once the desired armhole depth is achieved, the underarm steeks are then cast off, stitches for (faux) side seams are added and the body of the garment is worked in the round to the hem. The shoulder seams are joined before stitches are picked up for the sleeves. The sleeves are worked from the top down in the round to the cuffs. The neckband is added, then the garment is blocked. Finally, lines of slipped stitch surface crochet are added to the body.
