Pattern Details


The body is worked from the collar using circular yoke shaping. The top is then split into sleeves and body. The body is worked to the bottom hem before finishing the sleeves. The back of the top and sleeves are then sewn. A connecting stitch can be used for both the body and sleeves to avoid sewing.
