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.

<b>Change yarn</b> to colour A. Pick up 32 stitches purlwise 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.

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

<b>Change yarn</b> to colour E.

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, put these stitches onto a circular needle.

(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 right side and front of garment facing, and yarn colour B, pick up and K 13 stitches from the underarm selvedge beginning at the border between the colour A stripe and the colour B stripe. (Place marker if required.) Continue knitting onto the stitches on the circular needle, switching to moss stitch for the ten middle stitches in the row (ie continuing the borders as knitting on the front and back). When end is reached, pick up and K 13 stitches from the other underarm selvedge, ending at the border between colours as before. Turn and P back 13 stitches so you're back on the main stitches again. (Place marker if required.)

  • Row 2: P70, moss stitch 10, P69; you'll be on the last main stitch but 1 (stitch before marker). P2tog using the last main stitch and the next stitch picked up from selvedge. Turn.
  • Row 3: K70, moss stitch 10, K69. K2tog using the last main stitch and the next selvedge stitch. Turn.
  • Rows 4-13: Repeat rows 2 and 3 five more times, ie until 7 picked-up selvedge stitches remain on each side.
  • Row 14: As row 2.
  • Row 15: K68, K2togTBL, K1, moss stitch 8, K2tog, K68, K2tog using the last main stitch and the next selvedge stitch. Turn.
  • Row 16: As row 2.
  • Row 17: K68, K2togTBL, K1, moss stitch 6, K2tog, K68, K2tog using the last main stitch and the next selvedge stitch. Turn.
  • Row 18: As row 2.
  • Row 19: K68, K2togTBL, K1, moss stitch 4, K2tog, K68, K2tog using the last main stitch and the next selvedge stitch. Turn.

  • Row 21: K68, K2togTBL, K1, moss stitch 2, K2tog, K68, K2tog using the last main stitch and the next selvedge stitch. Turn.
