Join the side seams. I used the [[three-needle bind-off]]. I'd considered using [[Kitchener stitch]] but with 90 stitches to join it would have been a bit rough on the yarn.

See also Kake's Rainbow Hemp Jumper - that page was getting a bit long so here's a separate one for the sleeves part of the pattern. Copyright on this pattern as described on that page.

Making up the body

Join the shoulder seams. I used a 1.25mm crochet hook to slip-stitch them together with wrong sides facing, using the leftover tails of yarn from changing colours so that the yarn I was using to do the joining was always the same colour as the fabric I was joining.

Join the side seams. I used the three-needle bind off. I'd considered using Kitchener stitch but with 90 stitches to join it would have been a bit rough on the yarn.

Left sleeve

You should have 75 stitches on a holder (from the front) and 75 on a provisional cast-on (from the back). With right side of garment facing, and starting at the underarm, put these stitches onto a circular needle. (150 stitches)

(The next bit might make more sense if you first read about Medrith Glover's strip-joining technique over in modular knitting.)

Row 1: With wrong of garment facing, and yarn colour B, pick up 14 stitches from the underarm selvedge beginning at the border between the colour A stripe and the colour B stripe. (Place marker if required.) Continue purling onto the stitches on the circular needle. When end is reached, pick up 14 stitches from the other underarm selvedge, ending at the border between colours as before. Turn and K back 14 stitches so you're back on the main stitches again. (Place marker if required.)

  • Row 2: K to last main stitch but 1 (stitch before marker). K2tog using the last main stitch and the next stitch picked up from selvedge. Turn.
  • Row 3: P to last main stitch but 3. P2tog using the last main stitch and the next selvedge stitch. Turn.
  • Rows 4-29: Repeat rows 2 and 3 thirteen more times, ie until all picked-up selvedge stitches are used, but do not turn at the end of the last row. (150-28=122 stitches)

Change yarn to colour A. Pick up 32 stitches along the remainder of the underarm selvedge, placing a marker if required after the 16th stitch. You should now be back at the start of the last row, having completed a circle.

Note: you are still working back and forth at this point. The marker placed in the centre of the underarm selvedge stitches shows where the start/end of your rows are.

  • Row 1: K to last-but-one main stitch, K2tog using the last main stitch and the first selvedge stitch. Turn.
  • Row 2: P to last-but-one main stitch, P2tog using the last main stitch and the first selvedge stitch. Turn.
  • Row 3: K1, K2togtbl, K to last main stitch but 3. K2tog, SSK using the last main stitch and the next selvedge stitch. Turn.
  • Row 4: As row 2.
  • Row 5: As row 1.
  • Row 6: As row 1.
  • Rows 7-32: Repeat rows 1-6 five more times, and then rows 1 and 2 once each, ie until all picked-up selvedge stitches are used. (122-13=109 stitches)

You now begin working circularly. You should have the right side facing after turning at the end of row 32.

(Note: I think it would be better to end on a K row - figure out how to rework this.)

  • Rows 33-54: Work circularly in stockinette. You can either use the magic loop technique on your circular, or switch to double-pointed needles.
