“Once Upon a Summer” dress is worked seamlessly from the neck down. First, the Back Yoke is worked, then stitches for the Fronts are picked up along the shoulder. The two halves of the Front are first worked separately, then joined to each other after neckline shaping has been completed.
Back and Front are joined after armhole shaping has been completed, then the Body of the sweater is worked in one piece in the round to the desired overall length. The sleeves are worked from the armhole down after a subtle sleeve cap has been added through short row shaping. The garment is finished by adding neckline edging.
