Worthy of Note
The Front Panel is made by working square motifs separately, then seaming them together into a Central Panel. Stitches are added along both sides of the long edge of the Central Panel, to create the right and left side of the Front Panel. The back is worked flat, sideways. The front and back are seamed at the shoulders and sides. An edging is added around the neck opening and bottom edge for a clean finished look.
