NOTES
Yoke is knit modularly, then lower body knit seamlessly from the top down. Short rows form the arched shape. Sleeves are picked up and worked down, knit in the round.

When picking up for the body and sleeves it is important to pick up only half a stitch in from the edge to reduce bulk.

ERRATA:
The first printing of the REB pattern has some sections out of order. The correct order to work is as follows:
Center back
Left back
Left front
Join left front and back
Work through the section beginning “Work even in established rib for 7 (7, 7, 9, 9) rows.” and ending “Work 7 (9, 11, 5, 7) rows even, ending with a WS row. Break yarn and place sts on a holder.”
Up to this point, you are following the pattern as printed.
Now, skip Arch and Shape armholes for the time being and proceed to:
Right front
Right back
Join right back and front
Work through the section beginning “Work even in established rib for 7 (7, 7, 9, 9) rows.” and ending “Work 7 (9, 11, 5, 7) rows even, ending with a WS row. Break yarn and place sts on a holder,” the same as you did on the left side.

Return to back piece and work Arch followed by Shape armholes.
Return to front piece and work Arch followed by Shape armholes, but leave sts on needle at end and do not break yarn.
Join front and back and complete Lower Body, Sleeves, and Finishing as printed.
Woolfolk sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience.
