TO MAKE UP
Join sleeve seams. Sew sleeves into armholes, noting that to
match patterns, the excess fabric between the cable panels
at each side of the shoulder on the body have to be folded
on the wrong side, so that each 20-st panel is sewn to 10 sts
of the sleeve panel, then match sts to the next cable panel
and allow 6-st cable at centre to fold and match 3 sts in rib
and end with underarm sts matching underarm rows.
