CONSTRUCTION
Lay both panels together, with the right side facing in (there isn’t technically a right side, just which ever you like best)
Using stitch markers, mark where you want to sew the shoulders closed. I marked approximately 20 stitches in from each side, leaving 25 stitches open in the middle for the head. Using a long piece of yarn and your yarn needle, sew the pieces together across each shoulder with a whip stitch. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Mark where you want the armholes to be (I tried the sweater over my head to see where I wanted them) I marked about 11 rows down from the top. Using a long piece of yarn and a yarn needle, sew the pieces together with a whipstitch, leaving a space open at the top for armholes. Fasten off, weave in the ends. Turn right side out.
SLEEVES
SLEEVES
Join yarn at the bottom of one armhole,
Round 1: ch 1, sc evenly around, (work approximately 2 sc in the side of each dc), join to first sc with sl st
Round 2 – 10: ch 3, dc in each stitch around, join to first dc with sl st
In the next rows the sleeves will start decreasing
Round 11: ch 3, *dc in 5 stitches, dc2tog* repeat from * to * around, join to first dc with sl st
Round 12: ch 3, dc in each stitch around, join to first dc with sl st
Round 13: ch 3, * dc in 4 stitches, dc2tog* repeat from * to * around, join to first dc with sl st
Round 14: ch 3, dc in each stitch around, join to first dc with sl st
NOTE: The next round decreases the sleeves one more time, if you don’t want the sleeves any smaller around, skip to round 16
Round 15: ch 3, *dc in 3 stitches, dc2tog* repeat from * to around, join to first dc with sl st
Round 16: ch 3, dc in each stitch around, join to first dc with sl st
Repeat round 16 to row 23, (25), [27], {29}, <31>
Or until sleeves are desired length, Add or take out rows as needed
Fasten off, weave in the ends.
Repeat for the second sleeve.
