WORKFLOW
Knitted top-down, first flat, and after the slit in the back it’s continued in the round. Neckline is shaped with German Short Rows.
Increases for the sleeves and the sweetheart shaping are done simultaneously, and then increases for the sleeves are continued with increases for the body and decreases shaping the body. Pay extra attention to the order of the steps in the pattern.
The sleeves are separated onto a stitch holder and finished last. The lace at the hem is done on a separate circular needle and attached to the body with Kitchener Stitch techinque.
Additional details are crocheted in the end.
