FINISHING
Sew 2 pieces tog at center Back with a tapestry needle. With WS facing work whipstitch seam (see
illustration), picking up 1 strand close to the edge but on the back of the work (the side facing you) from each side. This makes the seam less noticeable on the RS. Before seaming, carefully line up the inside edge of each Front shoulder along the Back, ensuring that they are symmetrically placed on the Back. When seaming, sk a st as needed if 1 side is a little longer than the other. With regular crochet hook and WS facing, work sl st seam across each shoulder. With RS facing, join yarn in armhole and sl st around. Rep for other armhole.
