CONSTRUCTION NOTES

Begin by working the Back, then work the two Front pieces. The three pieces are then blocked to the correct measurements. When the pieces are completely dry, then the shoulders are joined together. The Sleeve stitches are then picked up and worked down to the desired length toward the wrist. The Sleeves are then blocked. Mattress stitch is used to join the Sleeves and the side panels together. Finally, a wide band is worked back and forth along the Front pieces and around the neck. It might be helpful to use stitch markers while knitting to denote the different patterns of each Boro patch.
