Notes: Passerine is worked flat in four pieces from the bottom up, with raglan shaping. The raglan seams are sewn, then stitches are picked up around the neck for the neckband. The feather shape expands up the sleeves through cables at either side before being decreased again as part of the raglan shaping.
