-
Front and back panels are made separately then seamed along sides and shoulders.
-
Optional borders are worked around the neck and armhole openings.
-
Cloud stitch rows are worked on the wrong side since the stitches will naturally puff out on the opposite side - this will make them fluff out towards the right side of the panels
-
You can use stitch markers to indicate the right side to help when joining panels.
Two separate panels worked flat and seamed together, optional borders around neckline and armholes, crochet charts included for established stitch pattern, tutorial video available for pattern support.
