Notes: Worked from the bottom up, in one piece, beginning with a garter stitch hem. The body is worked in stocking stitch in the round before dividing for the Front and Back which are then worked separately. Stitches are cast on at either side for the sleeves and a Latvian braid marks the transition into the lace pattern. The V-neckline is created by decreasing stitches before the Fronts and Back are grafted together with a knitted-on edge along the Back neck.
