Construction Notes
• The lower band is worked side-to-side, then the first row of the body is worked along one selvedge edge of the lower band.
• The body is worked as one piece from the lower band to the underarms, where the back and front are divided and worked separately to the shoulders.
• The shoulders are seamed, then stitches for the buttonband and armbands are worked around the selvedge and armhole edges of the body.SaveSaveSaveSaveSaveSave
