CONSTRUCTION NOTES
Begin by working the squares of the Front in the suggested order. Then, continue with the Back and then join the shoulders together. The two Sleeves are knitted from the Body towards the wrist. Then, the knitting is blocked before the seams of the Sleeves and Body are joined. Lastly, a rolled edge is worked around the neckline.
