JOINING THE FRONT AND BACK SECTIONS
ON THE SHOULDERS
We will join the work on the shoulders, uniting
the right and left front shoulders with the back.
First pass the right front sts that were on hold

to an auxiliary needle.
Then we will divide the back sts in 3 auxiliary

needles:
- Right back: 10 (10, 12, 14) sts.
- Center Back: 16 (20, 20, 20) sts.
- Left back: 10 (10, 12, 14) sts.
We can keep the left front sts on the working

needle.
And this is the result:
Option 1
To unite the left and right front shoulder to
the left and right back shoulder you can use the 3 SLEEVES

You pick up approx. 3 stitches for every 4 rows.
Option 2
To unite the left and right front shoulder to
the left and right back shoulder you can use the
kitchener stitch technique and, to bind off the
back stitches, you can use the sewn bind off:
- Left front shoulder + Left Back shoulder:
