CONSTRUCTION: after knitting
the lower part of the Front panel
the stitches for the lower part of
the Back panel are picked up along
the cast-on edge of the Front panel.
The stitches are then joined in the
round to knit the Upper Beaded
panel, before being divided into two
separate sets of stitches again to knit
the Hems.
