Then the front shoulders are picked up from the back and worked separately until neck shaping is complete. The fronts are then joined and worked through the armholes. Front and back are then joined and worked in the round with the lace panel added in. Sleeves are picked up, shaped with short rows and worked in the round (they are bracelet length.) Finally, the neckband is picked up and worked. Please note that due to complexity the lace pattern is only available in chart form! Questions? Camaraderie?
