Sewing together:
Mark centre of sleeve top with a stitch marker. With right sides of body and sleeve facing in, pin centre of sleeve top to shoulder seam. Pin
sleeve top along edge of main body, ensuring that you don’t stretch the sleeve and that both sides are even. Sew in place with a yarn
needle using running stitch, but leave a 4/5mm seam allowance to hide floated yarns. With right sides facing in, pin sleeve seams and side
seams together and sew in place in one long seam, using the same seam allowance and method. Weave in ends. Turn through to right side
and admire your new jumper!
