Pattern Notes

This pattern is worked vertically from side to side.

Turning edges will not be even/straight. The turning edges will create a “scalloped” effect.

To join as you go and eliminate seaming at shoulders, when finishing last stitch of row slip stitch to adjacent row of opposite shoulder (front right to back right, front left to back left), slip stitch in next row or adjacent shoulder (this counts as the ch 1 of the row turn), turn and work next row.

To join as you go and eliminate seaming at side seam, when working the last row *remove hook from working loop, insert hook front to back, through the unused loops of beginning chain that contains stitches (do not use skipped chains), pull through the working loop of yarn, work (sc, ch 1, sc) in indicated stitch; rep from * across.

For a smoother effect with the Arm Hole and Neck Edging, when working over “steps” created from row decreases, work a decrease stitch (sc3tog: insert hook in first st, YO, pull up a loop, insert hook in next st, YO, pull up a loop, insert hook of last st, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull through all 4 loops), over the first stitch before the step, the side of the row, and the next stitch of the next row.
