PATTERN NOTES
This garment begins at the right sleeve. The sleeves and yoke of this garment are knitted flat in one
piece using a six-row cable repeat. Stitches are then picked up from the selvedge and the rest of the
garment is knitted in the round, working top down in Stocking Stitch. A small amount of short row
shaping is added to elongate the back and the garment is finished with a folded hem.
