NOTES:
• Piece is worked in-the-round from the top down.
• Directions are written for the smallest size, with larger sizes in parentheses.
• Short row shaping is used before the Yoke Increases to raise the back of neck.
• Sleeve stitches from the Yoke are placed on waste yarn while the Body is worked in the round to the bottom edge. Sleeve stitches are then returned to the needles and worked in the round to the Cuff.
• For short rows, sample shown uses the method for Japanese Short Rows in the round. Follow THIS LINK for tutorial.
• Neckline is worked last and is picked up from the provisional cast-on.
