Construction:
Lay two sides on top of one another and, using the Mattress Stitch, sew front and back together on left and right from bottom edge to row 38 (where the stitch markers are). Leave long enough tails that you can cinch up any holes under the arms after adding the sleeves.
Sew the top (shoulders) together from the outside in, using the Mattress Stitch, for (15, 17, 20, 22, 25, 29, 32, 34, 37) stitches on each side. This should leave 24 (all sizes) stitches open on front and back (for 48 stitches total) for the neck opening.
Sleeves:
Attach at the base of the armhole.
Row 1: Ch-1, * sc in next space, dc in next space * repeat between * * around. ( Note: try to have (13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21, 22, 24, 26) stitches at the halfway mark – when you reach the shoulder seam). Join to top of first sc. (26, 28, 30, 32, 36, 42, 44, 48, 52)
Rows 2 – 28: (or until desired length is reached): Ch-1, turn, * sc in next st, dc in next st * repeat between * * around. Join to top of first sc. (26, 28, 30, 32, 36, 42, 44, 48, 52)
Row 29: Ch-1, turn, sc in each st around. (26, 28, 30, 32, 36, 42, 44, 48, 52)
Fasten off and weave in ends using the Invisible Join. Repeat the process for the other sleeve.
Bottom/Finishing:
Attach yarn at either bottom side seam.
Row 1: Ch-1, sc in same st and in each st around. Join to top of first sc. (76, 84, 96, 104, 116, 124, 136, 144, 156)
Rows 2 – 3: Ch-1, turn, sc in each st around. (76, 84, 96, 104, 116, 124, 136, 144, 156)
