know...

Front, back and sleeves are

all worked individually from

the bottom up and then sewn

together along the side and

raglan seams. Slip all sts p-wise

with yarn to wrong side of work

(sl wyib on RS, sl wyif on WS).

The zigzag colourwork sections

are worked with only one colour

shaped section of the Front

pattern correct to match the

straight section.
