Other Details: The two fronts and back yoke of this sweater are knit in a single piece, beginning with the right front panel, continuing across the back, and then down the left front panel, using short rows for shaping. After the back is knit separately, the two pieces are sewn together at the side seams and the center of the back yoke. The narrowest point of the sweater should hit at the natural waist. All waist shaping is done on the back piece. All side edges that will be seamed together are worked with a slip stitch edging so they will be even and easy to sew.
