Pin motifs together, as per diagram,
(a – a to join the big motifs together,
1-1 to join the small motif in the middle
of four motifs, & 1 -1 to join the half
motifs) (coloured stitch markers are
ideal for pinning together as you can
use the different colours to make the
joins recognizable).
When pinned in place, use a needle
to sew each loop to its corresponding
loop, weaving the yarn through the
chains to get to the next loop, and so
on. It is advisable to join only a few
motifs together at a time so that the
work does not become too heavy. Sew
in all ends.
Laying the tube flat, pin the front and
back yokes in place leaving a little
space on each side for the armholes.
Sew in place. Sew up shoulder seams.
Join yarn with a sl st into the bottom
of one armhole and work a row of dc
evenly around the armhole to neaten
the edges, work another row to finish
off. Repeat for second armhole and
also for the neck opening. Sew in all
ends. •
