FINISHING
Fold the neck ribbing and seam it to the inside. Make sure that the buttonholes of the neck ribbing are at exactly the same height. Set in the sleeves: start at the shoulder seam, and make sure that the centre of the sleeve cap joins at the shoulder seam. Graft all seams one stitch from the edge. Weave in ends. Block gently to measurements, following any yarn care instructions on the ball band.
