Today we have a little bit more to do in term of steps, however, they are very simple and easy ones. To finish the sweater, we will assemble the body and then attach the ribbed parts at the bottom of the garment and sleeve and around the neckline.
A little reminder...
SEWING
Unless stated otherwise, be sure to stitch at 12 mm (½") from the edge and match notches and markings with the same numbers.
Assemble RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER, namely by placing the right side of a piece against the right side of another one – the right side being the side showing when the garment is worn.
