Notes
1. Shoulders are shaped using short rows to facilitate easy and neat assembly.
2. Work Buttonhole: A) Sl the next 2 sts Pwise. Pass the first slipped st over the second to BO 1 st. Sl next st from LH needle to RH needle. Pass first st over second to BO 1 st. You have now bound off 2 sts. B) Sl the st that remains on RH needle back onto LH needle. Bottom of buttonhole is complete. C) Using backward loop method, CO 2 sts to RH needle. Top of buttonhole is complete.
3. Body is worked in one piece to armholes, then divided for back and fronts.
