Pattern Notes

This is an advanced level pattern.

Slipover and Jumper are both worked flat in separate pieces and bottom up. Frills are made in same way for both Slipover and Jumper. Two continuous Frills run from top of hemline over shoulder to top of hemline on other side.
Front, Back and Sleeves are made first, then Left Shoulder seam joined and Neckband Edging picked up and knit. Right Shoulder seam is joined, then Frills formed by picking up and knitting sts as indicated in patt.
Slipover: Single Rib patt edging is added to armhole edge, then side seams joined.
Jumper: Sleeve caps are sewn into armholes and Sleeve seams joined, then side seams joined.
Lace and Cable Patterns are used on Front and Back.
