Start crocheting

Sweater is worked from top down, starting

from shoulders and working flat until all

pieces are joined in the round. Start by

working on Back, followed by Left Front

and Right Front, worked in other side of

foundation chain of Back piece. Front and

Back are then joined together in the round

to form Bodice. Sleeves and Cowl are

worked next, both are folded over once

sweater is completed.

Working in both rows and rounds requires

turning work after each row or round,

however, when working in rows always

make a turning 3 ch; when working in

rounds, never make a turning chain.

Unless otherwise stated, work du-cl and

dd-cl stitches in 3ch-sp of previous row.

Finished length is easily adjustable. While

working on rnds 29-35 of Bodice, simply

work more or fewer rounds to get to the

length you prefer, if you work more you

may need more yarn.
