  3. Set in the sleeves: Pin the top center of the sleeve to the shoulder seam, then pin the sleeve in place along the armhole. Sew the sleeve into the armhole.
  4. Sew the side seams and the underarm seams using the mattress stitch.
  5. Neckline Finishing: With RS facing, attach yarn at one shoulder seam, work a row of sc around the neckline. Work evenly around, placing 2 sc in each corner of the V-neck. Join with sl st to the first sc. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Final Notes

  • Customization: Feel free to adjust the sleeve length, overall length, or fit of the sweater as needed.
  • Yarn Substitution: If you prefer a lighter or heavier yarn, adjust your hook size and gauge accordingly.
  • Blocking: This step is essential to ensure your stitches open up, especially for lace patterns.
