Notes
Garment is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then seamed at the center front, center back, and shoulders.
Instructions for sleeveless or with sleeves are included in the pattern.
A 1-stitch decorative chained selvedge (SSS) is worked at each edge throughout (see Stitches).
A decorative neckline and armhole edge (for sleeveless version) is worked circularly from picked-up stitches.
For best results, use the Slopped Bind Off Method (see Special Techniques) for shoulder and neckline shaping.
