NOTES
The lower body is worked in one piece to the underarms, back and forth in rows, using a long circular needle to accommodate the number of stitches. At the underarms, the body divides for working the upper back and fronts separately. After joining the shoulders, stitches for each sleeve are picked up around the armhole opening and working in the round down to the cuffs.
