NOTES
The hem begins in two separate pieces which then are overlapped and joined together on each side. The body is then worked in the round until shaping for the armholes is reached. The front and back of the body are worked flat. Shoulders are joined together using the Three Needle Bind-Off method. The Sleeves are worked in the round but then worked flat when the shaping for the sleeve cap begins. Sleeves are seamed into the armholes and then stitches are picked up to finish the neckband.
When measuring the gauge for Bias Pattern, the stitch and row count was taken on the bias. Do not measure vertically and horizontally, instead measure on an angle.
Fay is also available in Japanese.
