They begin at the bottom hem and move up the side “seams” of the body and sleeves and then around the armhole and neck. The garment is worked from the bottom up, in the round to the armholes and is then separated for the front and back, which are then worked flat to the shoulders. The shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind off, and the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked down to the ribbing. This is the perfect spring or summer top with its easy fit, and you will be reaching for it all season long! * Click [here][5] to watch a video on how to work the Smock Stitch and Cable Cast On. * Sample shown in size Small on 34” (86 cm) bust with 2” (5 cm) of positive ease. * Yarn is held double throughout. * Click [here][6] to watch a video tutorial on working German Short Rows. *Designed by Debi Maige* You'll receive a digital file only (instantly downloadable as a PDF) and won't be shipped anything.
