3. As the sweater is to be buttoned down the front, continue to use two balls of yarn, winding each from the side of the sweater to the center only and back to the side.

6. Take up the loose stitches at the lower edge of the back as described in [section 6] of Chapter 4.

7. Sew up the side seams as described in [section 7] of Chapter 4. Make opening GH for sleeves about 7½ to 9 inches.
