NOTES:
Zizi is knit from the bottom up with a high-low split
hem. After working the front and back hems flat in 1×1
rib, the pieces are joined and worked in the round in
Stockinette Stitch to the underarm. Front and back
are worked flat to the shoulders with slipped edge
stitches to provide a neat armhole edging. Shoulders
are shaped with short rows, then a 1×1 rib mock-neck
collar is picked up and worked in the round.
