Notes: Rya is worked flat from the front right cuff to the front left cuff. Once the front is complete, stitches are cast on for the back left cuff. The back is worked from left cuff to right cuff, picking up stitches at the shoulder to join the front and back. The shoulders and neck are shaped with increases and decreases. The fringe is created by leaving long tails of yarn B at the hem edge, and trimming them to a uniform length.
