Sewing the pieces together
After the two body pieces are done, you will lay them both right sides together, and sew them on the very edges. For additional assistance on when to stop sewing, you can pin them together with sewing pins or use a stitch marker.
Sew the shoulders: sew the pieces together along the top, starting on the outside edge, coming in 7’’. You could customize the neck opening by taking away or adding to your sewing.
Sew the sides: start on the bottom at row 1 of the body, and sew up through Row 42( 41, 40, 40, 39, 38, 37).
The sleeves –(make 2 -follow the same instructions for both sides)
- The sleeves are worked in the round, from shoulder and down.
- Chains at beginning of rounds do not count as stitch
- Work the Round 1 on the wrong side, then, turn ad work the Round 2 on the right side, and continue in this way, by turning at the end of each round.
Round 1( wrong side): Start by drawing the yarn right on the side seam, then Ch3 and work a DC into the same side space you drew up your yarn,then work 1DC into the end space of each row of your body piece until you reach the shoulder seam, excepted few rows where you work 2DC:
- For XS (S, M) sizes: work 2DC in the end space of Rows 45 and 49
- For L size : work 2DC in the end space of Rows 42, 46 and 49
- For XL(2XL, 3XL) size: work 2DC in the end space of Rows 40, 43, 46 and 49.
So, you have 22(23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29)DC. With the one DC you put at the beginning in the side seam, you have a total of: 23(24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30)DC.
- Then make another DC into the shoulder seam
- Then make another 22(23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29)DC into the other side of your sleeve hole
- Then join to the first DC with a slip stitch. < 46( 48, 50, 52, 56, 58, 60)>. Turn.
- From here work in the round and Turn at the end of each Round.
- The rows 6, 12, 18, 24 has decreases – every six rows.

The ribbing
Round 41: Ch2, HDC in each st around. Turn.<38( 40, 42, 44, 48, 50, 52)>
Round 42, 43, 44: Ch2, *FPHDC, BPHDC*,repeat from *-*around, sl to join.Turn. <38( 40, 42, 44, 48, 50, 52)> At the end of Round 44 fasten off. Weave in all ends.
