(Note: Zipper lengths listed are readily available in fabric stores and may be longer than the actual length of the finished Front measurements.

Notes Pieces are worked flat and then seamed. When working the intarsia pattern on the sleeves, use a separate ball of yarn for each color section; yarn should not be stranded across the back of the intarsia stripe. Twist yarns around each other at color changes to prevent holes from forming.
