Opposite Shoulder-

Join yarn to opposite side and repeat Rows 29(32,35,38,41)-30(33,36,39,42)

Joining-

Place your front and back panel together. Sew the top rows of the shoulders together. I like to use my yarn tail and hook and Sl St the top rows of the shoulders together. You can also use a yarn needle and the tail of yarn and mattress stitch across. 

I recommend trying the sweater on here to see if you like the body length and head opening. If there are any issues you can fix them here before moving onto the rest of the seaming.

Now, fold your panels together once more. Join yarn to the bottom corner at the ribbing, Sl St or sew up the side of your shirt. Stop when you reach the decrease row. Tie off. Repeat on other side. Turn shirt correct side out. 

Sleeves (x2)-

With your work correct side out. Join yarn with a Sl St to the bottom of the open arm hole at the top of the side seam. 

Round 1: Ch 1. Work 28(31,34,37,40) Hdc evenly around the opening of the arm hole. Join to your first Hdc with a Sl St. Ch1, Turn. (28(31,34,37,40 Hdc)

Round 2: 1 Hdc in each St around. Join with a Sl St. Ch 1, Turn. 

Repeat Round 2 for a total of 26(28,30,32,34) Rounds.

Round 27(29,31,33,35): Ch 1. *1 Hdc, Hdc2tog* Repeat around. 1 Hdc in any remaining stitches. Join. Ch1, Turn. 19(21,23,25,27 Hdc)

Round 28(30,32,34,36): Repeat previous round. 13(14,16,17,18)

Round 29(31,33,35,37): Ch 1. *1 Fphdc, 1 Bphdc* Repeat around. Join to first with a Sl St. Do Not Turn. 

Rounds 30(32,34,36,38)-32(34,36,39,41): Repeat previous round.

Tie off. Repeat rounds 1-32(34,36,39,41) on opposite side. 

Neckline-

Join yarn with a Sl St to the shoulder seam at the neckline. Ch 1. Work 1 Hdc in each St evenly around. Join to the first St with a Sl St.
