Note
This design has an interesting construction. The shawl section is knitted first, this becomes the garment fronts and shawl collar. The back is then picked up and knitted down. The armhole edgings are picked up and knitted out at the side seams, the garment is then joined to create side seams. For this design I wanted to create a light drapey knitted fabric, I have used a larger size needle than traditionally used for this yarn to achieve this.
