NOTES

• Body pieces are worked flat, from the bottom up.

• The shawl collar is worked along with each front piece with integrated yarnover buttonholes. Placket edging and shaping are planned for when the shawl collar will roll over to the expose the WS. Outside edge of placket begins with 3 I-Cord sts. These are slipped with yarn in front on RS rows and knitted on WS rows.

• A collar extension is picked up and worked from the back neck to match the width of the front shawl pieces.

• The front shawls are then seamed to the sides of the back extension in finishing.

• A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.

• Slip stitch edges are used throughout to reduce bulk and assist with seaming.

• Ribs all have an odd multiple so that two knits meet at the edge to achieve a smoother join.

• When swatching, note your row gauge both before and after wet blocking. If there is a difference, the lengths specified in the pattern will not be accurate until after blocking. Be sure to work to the specified chart rows in each section to ensure lengths will be accurate in the finished garment.
