The front and back are separated at the underarms and a gusset is created for each sleeve, then the sleeves are attached to the body and worked as one piece. The shoulders are joined with the three-needle bind-off. Stitches for the sleeve edging are picked up and worked flat, then the sleeves are seamed. The turtleneck is picked up and worked in the round.
