Notes
VENTS are worked flat and then joined to form the BODY. BODY is worked in-the-round to underarm and then divided, after which FRONT and BACK are worked separately. After shoulder seams are sewn, stitches are picked up around armholes and SLEEVES are worked in-the-round to cuff. A 3-st I-cord is worked at the edges of the Front and Back VENTS, each side of the BODY, and at the center underarm of each SLEEVE.
